Goodbye Ubuntu 9.04

Ubuntu has come a long way since then.... This was one of the versions I used as an early on in my switch to Linux.

Ubuntu is growing into a fantastic OS!

Yep :D

This was my first ubuntu version and also my first linux encounter.
since then I have slowly made a complete shift to ubuntu and now do not use windows at all.
I have also converted 4 of my friends to ubuntu.

Yeah, all my hardware that I had to *make work* with 9.04 started working all by itself as I moved to 9.10 and then finally 10.04.
Ubuntu is certainly getting better...

UBUNTU 9.04 WAS A VERY GOOD RELEASE BY CANONICAL, I ALREADY SHIFTED TO 10.04 IS ALSO GOOD RELEASE.

true.....

my first ubuntu was 7.10 it has really changed since i started using ubuntu. 10.04 is good but alot of work needs to be done to make ubuntu great

I have noticed quiet a few from India have replied to this post. My experience is similar. Used this version after getting sick of viruses with Windows. Since then have completely stopped using Windows and without any problem. Linux is going to be the answer for us.

Best Ubuntu release

the last of the good ones for older hardware

Ubuntu's OK. But I really believe their relentless pushing of the latest and greatest is going to come back to haunt them eventually.

yes i believe so too

Then use 10.4 LTS.
This will be supported for 5 years so no need to upgrade at all

I came to Linux through Jaunty, 18 months ago. Thank you!!! *sniff*

My ancient PC won't run anything later than 9.04.

With Jaunty my 3G broadband stick works as it should. No successor of Ubuntu did even come close, so when Jaunty dies, the last Ubuntu-box in my household will stop running Ubuntu.

I had issues with 9.10 but 10.04 is awesome. Work flawlessly, no lags, no errors, low memory and power use. Full compatibility. I switched from mac to ubuntu 10.04 And no Windows on either Vmware/parallels/bootcamp. There is no need for Windows crashes, viruses and unfriendly UI.

that is what i do not like a bout these os you have to be always up grading and re installing a new version every year and this is what hampers it from taking a bigger share of the os market which now is around 1 %

THANKS! BUT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT

Thank You Ubuntu 9.04
Good bye

jejejeje, Ubuntu has growing so much ;);)). i am glad to know about this update to Maverick 10.10, today i use only the Lucid 10.04, but i am so proude and wait for the next version 10.10 officiel relasse. bravo Canonical well done boys . keep goingggg ;)))

After a brief stint with Backtrack 3 and Slax, Jaunty is what converted me into a Linux user. For the novice Linux enthusiast, I still regard it as one of the best Ubuntu derivatives because it's relatively light-weight (as compared to the newer version of Gnome and Ubuntu) and Jaunty has the older version of Grub. It runs great off of CD and is a great entry distro to give out to family and friends.

Jaunty will always have a spot in my CD wallet!

It will be a sad day because my Jaunty was really great a perfect setup that I will hate to lose! That life!

To bad I own a netbook that uses the gma500 (Poulsbo) graphics chipset. The driver for it was designed to work with Jaunty. It has never worked as well as Karmic (which will EOL in April). And support in Lucid is even worse.

So now I have a PC that will only run decently on an obsolete version of linux.
