It is of course not released and not ready, indeed our friendly bot says:-

"Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots
of breakage between now and April - please join #ubuntu+1 (on
freenode) for discussion and support".

That said I have it running on my daily use laptop.

Which CD did you try to install from? An alpha or a daily image? Or
did you try an in place upgrade?

Cheers,
