Parent article: Ubuntu 9.04 released
It is a great release with a lot of cool new features, but I have one very unlikely complain.
Canonicals marketing is not very good.
When Novell and Red Hat release a new version you find all cool new features on their webpages.
Not so for Canonical, for example Dustin Kirkland did an amazing job with screen profiles, where screen essentially becomes the window manager for the Ubuntu server and it displays interesting infos (like EC2 costs, avail. updates, mem usage etc. etc. etc.)
It is very easy to configure and a real win for every Ubuntu server admin.
No word about it on any of their websites. That is kinda funny, because a lot of people say Canonical is mostly great in the marketing department.
