Article Title: new versions of Ubuntu continue to seize the server market. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

According to foreign media reports, Ubuntu9.04 (development code JauntyJackalope) has entered an active preparatory stage. While Ubuntu officially displays the new function of Ubuntu9.04, it is actively launching Ubuntu9.04 as soon as possible.

When developing the Ubuntu9.04 Development Plan, the Ubuntu Project Development Team clearly stated that Ubuntu9.04 would reduce the system startup time. In addition, according to the CanoniCal proposal, Linux desktop should change the GNOME and KDE Desktop notification systems. Currently, markShuttleworth has posted a new notification demonstration for uBuntu 9.04 by the uBuntu Desktop experience engineering team.

According to official news, Jaunty Jackalope (Ubuntu9.04) will arrive in March and is still under development. According to the latest news from TheFridge, Ubuntu founder MarkShuttleworth officially announced that Ubuntu9.10 will be released in December, and the development code "KarmicKoala" will maintain the CanoniCal naming method, that is, the unique adjective and the animal name are combined in the way of overlapping the first alphabet.

Although KarmicKoala features have not yet been announced, there is no doubt that he will soon be present in front of us, more details will gradually become clear, and UbuntuDevelopment Summit (UDS) will be held in Barcelona on May 25-29, more messages will be sent.

The continuous presentation of new features of Ubuntu9.04 makes many users look forward to this version. However, the expansion of the Ubuntu market is also encouraging. CanoniCal recently announced that it will develop a customized tulinux desktop operating system for ARM processors with the community, previously, most arm processors were applied to small electronic devices, such as mobile phones.

Moreover, Ubuntu is becoming a rising star in the server market. According to a survey conducted by CanoniCal and analysis company RedMonk, Ubuntu should not be regarded as a Linux Desktop System. In a recent survey, more than 7000 enterprises are using the ubuntu system. The report shows that, users mainly use Ubuntu to execute general tasks such as websites, databases, archives, printing, and email servers. Users also use Ubuntu as an important platform for security, backup, and firewall.

According to the survey, the most commonly used server operating systems of Ubuntu users are still Windows, while the Linux version ranks third, while the UNIX Version ranks third. in Linux, Ubuntu has the highest proportion, others are Red Hat Enterprise, Debian, Centos, SuSELinuxEnterprise, and Fedora. Most of the enterprises surveyed are located in Europe and North America, dominated by the technology service industry, followed by the software industry and education institutions.

With the support and affirmation of many users, Ubuntu is gradually making breakthroughs in the server market. HP servers have been supporting Linux for a long time. Currently, HP servers support RedHatEnterpriseLinux, Novell's SuSELinuxEnterpriseServer, OracleEnterpriseLinux, and DebianLinux. HP plans to support the UbuntuLinux system online on its Proliant Series servers.

HP recently reached an agreement with CanoniCal that HP will provide comprehensive Ubuntu certification on the Proliant server. The certification indicates that HP will include the Ubuntu System in the list of supported operating systems, it runs stably and reliably on the authenticated server. Certified servers include blades, racks, and tower servers using AMD haolong processors and Intel Xeon processors. Among them, the cost of a single-channel Tower server is low, mainly for small and medium-sized enterprises, in addition to the application of high-end haolong and Xeon processors, but also the application of AMDSemPron and Intel CeleronD processor, the price is less than 400 US dollars.

Another IT giant handed over an olive branch to Ubuntu. I believe that with the continuous release of the new version of Ubuntu, the functions of Linux will be improved and can compete with Microsoft in multiple markets!
