Last year leading up to the release of Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty
Fawn" and Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" we had published several articles
looking at various aspects of this desktop Linux distribution. These
articles had varied from looking at Ubuntu's power consumption for the
past six major releases to presenting the visual history of Ubuntu and
how its graphics have evolved since Ubuntu 4.10. With Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy
Heron" shipping in just two months, we are once again looking at Ubuntu
from several points of view. In this article, we are looking at Ubuntu's
boot performance for the past five releases through the use of Bootchart
for measuring its boot time, disk throughput, and the running processes.
