Ubuntu 10.04, codenamed Lucid Lynx, will be available in April of 2010. This will be the 12th Ubuntu release to date, and they’ve got some lofty goals for it. The developers are striving for a lean and fast creature with this next LTS release. Some of what they’re aiming for…
- Longer test period
- Faster boot times
- 10 second boot times to be exact
- Refinements in the areas of…
- User Interface
- Browsing & Installing software
- Hardware support
- Increased stability
Of course, like all Long Term Support releases, Lucid Lynx will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server platform. If, like me, you need a stable operating system that you can keep using for an extended period of time, then the Lucid Lynx is your next upgrade. And probably the last one you’ll do until April of 2012, that is, if the current release cycle continues as planned.
I’ll definitely be staying tuned to see what’s going on with 10.04 LTS. I’ve been using 8.04 since it was released in ‘08, and I’m looking forward to what they’ve got in store for us with the next LTS.
Have you been waiting for the next Long Term Support release to upgrade?
