The last week I was installing XUbuntu 9.04 on a server in our company network. XUbuntu is an Ubuntu with a lightweight GUI. It has less minimum system requirements and uses less system resources. because it uses Xfce for desktop environment while Ubuntu uses GNOME.
Its suitable for laptops or servers or even desktops. if you want to install a Linux on your server, its a good choice because its lighter and also had some GUI anyway! of course if you are not one of those guys prefer to use the Linux classical command line!
get the XUbuntu here!
anyway, I saw the Ext4 file system in the partitioning part of installation. its the new Linux file system that is faster and more reliable. Its backward compatible to Ext3 and Ext2. It has other improvements like:
- Extents
- Persistent pre-allocation
- Delayed allocation
- Break 32,000 subdirectory limit
- Journal checksumming
- Online defragmentation
- Faster file system checking
- Multiblock allocator
- Improved timestamps
openSUSE considers the Ext4 as the default file system in a late-2009 release, and Ubuntu considers it as an option for users. Now its time to move slowly to the Forth Extended File System for Linux users.
