Again it was far and Mark Shuttleworth has the output for the next Ubuntu version nicknames : Jaunty Jackalope.
In a Jackalope is this time not a real node, but rather a mythical animal, which is a cross between a rabbit and a pronghorn.
Its speed was also the inspiration for the expected improvements in the next version of Ubuntu: The boot and resume times.

The boot times of Ubuntu I have so long been a thorn in the side now and have enjoyed for some time and standby on notebook, but room for improvement because there's Resume in any case. Especially since it was the last kernel updates on a step backwards, so that a resume is no longer 50-10 seconds. Takes, but often over 20 sec. Yes I know, you can also get upset about small livestock

Otherwise, Ubuntu is version 9.04 from the mess with the top dogs of Microsoft and Apple Inc. or exceed their target in user experience.

One can be curious
