On July 6, March 26, Ubuntu 9.04 (Beta) was released as scheduled. According to the authoritative introduction of Microsoft Pedia, the main new features of this version are as follows:

This version is the 10th version of the Ubuntu development plan. From the perspective of a large number of visual screens provided by Wikipedia, Ubuntu 9.04 is indeed mature, with a well-organized layout, dignified, beautiful, and generous. The startup speed of this version is 1/4 shorter than that of the previous version. It takes only 21 seconds from GRUB to the logon interface (this data is based on the installation process on the old-style computer, AMD Semprom 2800 processor, MB memory and 80 GB hard disk); it takes 19 seconds from the logon interface to the appearance of a work desktop, which is related to the use of the new EXT4 file system. The new version is based on the GNOME 2.26.0 desktop environment, which is a prerequisite for its appearance and generosity.

Ubuntu 9.04 contains updates to many software packages, such as OpenOffice.org 3.0.1, Compiz 0.8.2, Pidgin 2.5.5, GIMP 2.6.6, Transmision 1.51, FireFox 3.0.7, F-spot 0.5.0.3, and Rhythmbox 0.12.0. The updated version is based on the Linux 2.6.28.8 kernel (2.6.28-11.32 ). The Candidate version of Ubuntu 9.04 (Candidate) is scheduled to be released on April 9, April 16. its final version will be released on April 9, April 23. Kubuntu 9.04, Xubuntu 9.04, and server version Ubuntu 9.04 are also released with this version. Note: they are all free software packages.

According to the latest activities in the Ubuntu international community (such as organizing a wide range of Ubuntu enterprise application "Wired virtual" training courses), and Ubuntu 9.10 (cool-named kaolathau) the main technical features (for Cloud computing) should be noticed (or sensitive): the development focus of Ubuntu (the main development team) is about to shift, focus on the development of Ubuntu servers and their system management tools. In today's objective conditions, the infrastructure of enterprise applications is very complex. Many virtual servers are often connected to the LAN, and the system deployment, management, and maintenance work is becoming increasingly complicated. manual management alone is not enough. In this regard, Ubuntu has taken some actions, such as RightScale and Turnkey Linux, to promote the Cloud computing applications of Ubuntu servers. From a strategic perspective, we think Ubuntu cannot be confined to the desktop.

From now on to the release of the Ubuntu candidate version in April 16, this period is a critical period for us to do a good job in the Ubuntu system. If Ubuntu is in China, we cannot hope for the support and help of industry authorities. We must contact all possible forces to do a good job in the culture of Ubuntu system. We must never lose this opportunity. The Chinese community of Ubuntu should take immediate action to do the job well. Otherwise, everything is a fantasy. There is no doubt about the practicality of Ubuntu. We must consciously maintain the technology leading position of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is also a matter for Chinese people. We should say that we should not be confused. Sorry, people who are not convinced can publicly come up for a debate! The Ubuntu China Representative Office should stand on the Chinese standpoint to look at the problem. It should vigorously support Chinese people to study Ubuntu, use Ubuntu, and promote Ubuntu. The ubento system integration company, which was recently established in Shenzhen (March 19), is duty-bound to fully promote the practical application of Ubuntu in China. Although this company is very small, it is not infinitely small. In fact, it has a great ambition. Since we dare to claim to be the "ubento" company, we must worship Ubuntu and become a loyal servant of Ubuntu. In my opinion, this is not a cheap move.

(Note: In Chinese, the so-called "cheap" refers to the meaning of "low behavior". I think I am a loyal servant of Ubuntu. What is the mean ?)
