Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Now In Beta 180

Posted by kdawson on Friday March 27, 2009 @12:22PM from the your-netbook-will-thank-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "To little fanfare and not much news coverage, Canonical released the beta of Ubuntu 9.04 'Jaunty Jackalope.' I tried it on a Dell Mini 9 using the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) and it's fabulous! Much better than the sad 'Dell Desktop' that it shipped with. Finally, someone has broken the 25+ year old too-many-open-windows-and-chaos desktop paradigm with UNR's task oriented layout, which is perfect for small netbook screen sizes."

There were plans for that version but the release slipped through the crack.

This is not about a new "Linux" release. It's about a new Ubuntu beta. By contrast, This is a story about a new Linux release.
Alright, Stallman. We get it already.

Actually, a JACK rabbit with antlers. Ordinary rabbits or bunnies are too small to grow antlers.
