Karmic Koala

This is the so called scientific name of Ubuntu 9.10. Installed it yesterday. Wow its really fast !!. The shutdown happens in less than 5 seconds and boots up in around 25 seconds on my Toshiba E105-S1602 laptop. Canonical claims its faster than windows 7. Well im waiting for my windows 7 DVD from Toshiba. I will have a better comparison then.  Oh the xterm background is white and the font is black by default. I dont know whatz the motivation behind that and i hate terminals with white backgrounds (Well the blog is white background ;). Its not good for mother nature either as white pixels eat up more power ;). Other than that Koala comes with ext4 file system, GRUB 2.0. I have to read about whatz new with these. Im playing around with the bundled softwares. More on this later.
