Thoughts on new Ubuntu 7.04

Wednesday, May 2. 2007

Yesterday I upgraded my system from Ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 (how to?). The installation went well, the only thing the installer complained about was my tomcat 5.5 package, which I just ignored because I was going to uninstall it anyways.

Some thoughts:

the system boots faster with the new stock kernel
hdparam shows me ~60MB/s with my PATA hdd
no JMicron-related problems on my Gigabyte 965P-DS3P
mplayer is working (used to crash on 6.10)

Finally, check the Howto: Set up Feisty for speed guide for tips on how to further improve your system performace.
