the all-thing | 2010-07-29 19:46:07 -0400 ========================================== Jaunty Jackalope rockin' my world --------------------------------- Date: May 1, 2009 4:01am Author: William Morgan Labels: ubuntu URL: http://all-thing.net/jaunty.txt Ubuntu 9.04 is really pleasing me. Bootup time is 20 seconds (!) from GRUB to login prompt, which is pretty incredible. It takes another 20 seconds from typing my password and hitting enter to a Desktop with all my bells and whistles loaded. In total, only 4 times the amount of time it takes for @ri clone@ to print something useless! Other things I'm enjoying: * The fancy notification for IMs, wireless connections, etc is really sweet. It looks nice, is non-intrusive, and properly stops when the corresponding window has focus. I just wish it were somehow configurable. * The orange satellite light on my laptop lights up every time the wireless is accessed. Every time I send an IM I feel like I'm a fucking astronaut. * Various wireless issues I was having with 8.10 seem to have disappeared. * Screen profiles [1]. So cool.
