Jaunty was released on 4-23-2009

Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty was released on 4/23/2009.
Although I don't like this distro, I still have to install and evaluate it on my company's NB products...Orz

This release of Ubuntu implement the ext4 file system which was improved from previous ext3 fs type.

First, I have tasted the Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix edition. This is the first formal release for Ubuntu distro which got a optimized system on netbook products. With a different kind of "desktop" interface which can be more useful with touch screen device such as MID.

Basically, Ubuntu have made the OS image for LPIA and/or netbook product, but they didn't formal announce it such as 9.04. I downloaded those non-announced image and installed it to give it a try. I have to say the truth that, those releases suck..damn..!! Very low performance and laggy response of the whole system, it's very terrible........

Now, finally 9.04 netbook remix with ext4 supported, it is just OK to use. Even I still see error messages of built-in Intel i915 / drm driver.
