The California Team is a Local Community (LoCo). We are not designed for providing support to Linux users. For general information please see www.ubuntu.com. There are other ways to find answers to specific questions. Online tools include google and freenode.net IRC channel #ubuntu.
Ubuntu "Jaunty" 9.04 was announced April 23, 2009. Jaunty Release notes contain important information and should be read before upgrading or installing.
The Canonical press releases on the desktop, netbook & server versions have helpful Jaunty overviews. For higher level descriptions, the Canonical Tour of new features, technical overview, Ars Technica's Jaunty review and Tux Radar's Ubuntu History might be interesting.
Ubuntu distributes software created by X.org video and Linux wireless networking projects. Intel video driver users or developers may find this blog post helpful.
