On the evening of June 23, April 23, the official version of Ubuntu 9.04, the world's most popular Linux operating system, has been released. Users can download it for free immediately.

According to the commercial sponsoring company Canonical of Ubuntu, global Internet users can freely download the Ubuntu April 24 desktop version from Beijing Time on January 1, 9.04. Ubuntu 9.04 Server versions and Netbooks are also released. As an open-source Linux software, Ubuntu can be freely distributed, downloaded, and disseminated without any license fee. Canonical is charged by customizing the special edition of Ubuntu for enterprises and providing technical services and training services.

According to Yu liqiang, a representative of Canonical in China, Ubuntu 9.04 is faster, most of which can be completed in about 25 seconds. Its enhanced sleep and restoration functions provide more endurance for users. For the first time, Ubuntu 9.04 launched a new integrated notification system, which integrates the notification methods of various applications and provides information in a concise and user-friendly manner. To improve user experience, new icons and images appear in the new version.

Ubuntu differs from the Linux operating system in that it is preinstalled with a large number of commonly used drivers and application software, such as the latest office suite OpenOffice.org, Skype, Adobe Flash, and various commonly used playback software. After you install Ubuntu, you can immediately experience the charm of your computer without downloading software and installing it on the internet like Microsoft Windows.

Ubuntu 9.04 also integrates the drivers of most 3G network adapters. After a 3G netbook is built into a computer or inserted into a computer, it can work normally without installing a driver, and can implement smart switching between it and WiFi.

Professor Yuan Meng, Deputy Secretary-General of China Open-Source Software Promotion alliance and famous technology blog, started using Ubuntu four years ago and has been a "fan" of Ubuntu. He believes that, ubuntu can fully meet his computer needs. Most Windows computer applications can be implemented on Ubuntu, but most of the large online games that many young people like do not have the Linunx version and cannot run on Ubuntu.

Data shows that Linux of various versions accounts for 2.19% of the global computer operating system market, with approximately more than 30 million users, of which 1/3 are Ubuntu users, that is, over 1000 Ubuntu users worldwide. Experts predict that Ubuntu users in China are between 0.5 million and 1 million, accounting for a low proportion of 0.1 billion computers in China. (Li Xiong)
