Known for its quirky animal named Linux releases, Canonical, the lead commercial sponsor behind Ubuntu Linux, is out with its 9.04 release today, codenamed the "Jaunty Jackalope." The "Jaunty" release includes new versions for netbooks, desktops and servers and features faster boot times and cloud computing capabilities.
This is the tenth release for Ubuntu since its inception in 2004. Ubuntu has grown from being a small Debian Linux based distribution to one of the most popular Linux distributions, with more than Windows 7 release.
"This our 10th release and we've really come quite a long way both in demonstrating the success of a model where a business can work together with the community to produce a great product, and in the open source realm in really honing this concept of a strict time based process," Canonical CTO Matt Zimmerman said during a press conference announcing the new release. "It ensures we always have a fresh product on the market with all the greatest improvements that are available in free software."
