Ubuntu 9.04 Daily Build Boots In 21.4 Seconds

Posted by timothy on from the spurious-precision-is-2.6-times-better dept.

Pizzutz writes "Softpedia reports that Ubuntu 9.04 Boots in 21.4 Seconds using the current daily build and the newly supported EXT4 file system. From the article: 'There are only two days left until the third Alpha version of the upcoming Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) will be available (for testing), and... we couldn't resist the temptation to take the current daily build for a test drive, before our usual screenshot tour, and taste the "sweetness" of that evolutionary EXT4 Linux filesystem. Announced on Christmas Eve, the EXT4 filesystem is now declared stable and it is distributed with version 2.6.28 of the Linux kernel and later. However, the good news is that the EXT4 filesystem was implemented in the upcoming Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 3 a couple of days ago and it will be available in the Ubuntu Installer, if you choose manual partitioning.' I guess it's finally time to reformat my /home partition..."

    Booted into Ubuntu 9.04 just to say "first post". Let's just say the ubuntu folks still have some work to do.

    I have to admit, posting from your table lamp is quite impressive. What browser does it run?

    I'd like to see Navigator not crash on the rocks without Lighthouse. The Safari would never happen. The Explorer would stay at home.

    You may enjoy your 26 seconds of pretending that "this is not really happening" - most other people don't.

    Why yes, I do enjoy that very much. I call it "sex".
