Dr. Oliver Diedrich of Heise Media takes a look at the latest version of Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu 9.04 is available in 32 and 64 bit versions, with desktop (live system with graphical installer), server and alternate install (with a text-based installer) flavours. The Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR), a version specifically adapted for netbooks, which runs on systems including the Acer Aspire One, the Asus EeePC 900 and 1000, the Dell Mini 9, HP Mini Mi and Toshiba NVB 100, should be ready in a few days time. Likewise the ports to the PowerPC (all installation versions), PA-RISC, IA-64 and SPARC (server and alternate install) architectures and for computers with Intel's Atom processor (alternate install only).
