Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" Alpha 4 Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on February 05, 2009

Not only did Fedora 11 Alpha make it out the door today, but so did the fourth alpha release for Ubuntu 9.04 (the Jaunty Jackalope). Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4 continues to build upon a bleeding-edge set of Linux packages (though still tracking the Linux 2.6.28 kernel) and has installation support for the EXT4 file-system and new notification capabilities.

The announcement of Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4 can be found on ubuntu-devel-announce. Additional information about this latest development build can be found on the Ubuntu web-site.

The final release of Ubuntu 9.04 is due out in April.
