,----[ Quote ]
| Well you know sometimes when you use an OS for as long as I have... One can

| around the old computer the other day and well... I decided to upgrade Ubuntu
| 7.10 to the new beta release 8.04.

First Impressions: Ubuntu 8.04 Beta
,----[ Quote ]
| It was pretty easy to make a judgment about 8.04–it’s a great step forward
| for Ubuntu and the distribution is looking better than ever. This is more or
| less what people say after each release, but it’s really impressive to see
| how far things have come over the past few generations. It’s still a beta so
| you should give it some time before moving it to a mission critical system,
| but once it is officially released Hardy Heron is going to be a great choice
| for both your desktop and notebook (with just a few customizations). If you
| haven’t tried Ubuntu, definitely give the live CD a shot and don’t be afraid
| to give it a go alongside a Windows installation if you simply can’t part
| ways with XP or Vista.

| There's just about a month left until Ubuntu 8.04 is officially introduced,
| but the second to the last testing release is now available. The Ubuntu 8.04
| beta came out last night and hardens up Hardy Heron on both the desktop and
| server ends for this first LTS (Long Term Support) release in nearly two
| years. The Canonical team and all involved free software projects have done a
| phenomenal job and Ubuntu 8.04 is shaping up to be their best release yet.
| Ubuntu 8.04 ships with many GNOME enhancements found in the recent 2.22
| release, PulseAudio integration, virtualization improvements, and it uses the
| Linux 2.6.24 kernel.
