Phoronix compared the performance of Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS vs. 8.10 Alpha 2
"With Canonical having pulled many new packages into Ubuntu 8.10 from Debian unstable and there being the Linux 2.6.26-rc8 kernel, a near-final version of X.Org 7.4 / Mesa 7.1, and GCC 4.3 among them, we've decided to run a few early benchmarks of Intrepid Ibex. In this article we have enclosed 32 benchmark results from the Phoronix Test Suite comparing Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS to Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 2."

Ubuntu: How To Install VMware Server (Version 1.0.6) On An Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop
2008-07-01 14:50:54 Source: Falko Timme [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]
Howtoforge published a guide about installing VMware Server on an Ubuntu 8.04 based desktop
"This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server (version 1.0.6) on an Ubuntu 8.04 desktop system. With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free)."

Ubuntu: Horny for Ubuntu 8.10: first look at Intrepid Ibex
2008-06-30 11:00:16 Source: Email [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]
ArsTechnica takes a first look at Intrepid Ibex
"The first alpha release of Ubuntu 8.10, codenamed Intrepid Ibex, was made available on Saturday. This preliminary Intrepid prerelease includes updated packages, a new version of the Linux kernel, and an experimental new visual style.
Ubuntu adheres to a time-based release cycle and puts out a new major release every six months. Development of a new version begins soon after each major release. The first stage of the Ubuntu development cycle, which is now complete for Intrepid, is planning the roadmap and merging in updated packages from upstream Debain."

Ubuntu: Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Alpha 1 Preview
2008-06-29 09:19:51 Source: Email [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]
Phoronix takes a quick look at Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Alpha 1
"The first development snapshot for the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 8.10 (codenamed Intrepid Ibex) is coming out two weeks late -- likely due to Canonical's focus on getting the Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS update out next week -- but what matters is that it's finally here. Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1 is far from meeting the quality standards for end-users (there isn't even a desktop LiveCD spin of this release), but that didn't stop us from playing with this latest build from the Canonical camp. In this article we are looking at the few changes in the Intrepid Alpha 1 release for Ubuntu and Kubuntu as well as looking at some of the changes they have planned before this release goes gold in October."

Ubuntu: Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Alpha 1
2008-06-28 12:54:49 Source: Email [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]
Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Alpha 1 has been released
"Welcome to Intrepid Ibex Alpha-1, which will in time become Ubuntu 8.10.
Pre-releases of Intrepid are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.
Alpha 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Intrepid development cycle. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Intrepid. You can download it here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-1/ (Ubuntu)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/intrepid/alpha-1/ (Kubuntu)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/intrepid/alpha-1/ (Xubuntu)
See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors for a list of mirrors.
The primary changes from Hardy have been the re-merging of changes from Debian and the upgrade of the Linux kernel to a pre-release version of 2.6.26.
Please refer to http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha1 for information on changes in Ubuntu.
This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. For a list of known bugs (that you don't need to report if you encounter), please see: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha1
If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Intrepid, have a look at the intrepid-changes mailing list:
http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/intrepid-changes
We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list if you're interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other interesting events.
