Judgement Day: Studio Dave Tests Ubuntu Studio 9.04
Linux Journal
I’ve already chronicled my recent experience with Ubuntu 8. 10 (Intrepid Ibex). Given the overall hassles I encountered then you might wonder why I returned to any variety of Ubuntu. Well the most recent Ubuntu Studio is based on the latest Ubuntu 9. 04 (the Jaunty Jackalope) with a tested realtime kernel so I thought it might be a good time to revisit the system.

I gave the Mac S X version a 40-minute whirl and was delighted to find one of my favorite Windows features–fast launch. Pages loaded reasonably quickly too though a few times the browser seemed to hang while loading one.

As for Ubuntu it’s an even tighter user experience (though to be fair to Moblin it’s still in beta and so many of its rough edges will be smoothed over by general release I assume).
