| Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 4 was officially released today and is now available for

| included in the final 8.04 release, which is scheduled for April. Codenamed
| Hardy Heron, Ubuntu 8.04 will be the second long-term support (LTS) release,
| which means that it will be supported on the desktop for three years and on
| the server for five years.

Wonderful images. Linux is as pretty as Apple's Leopard if themed properly.
Some say that a visual refresh will only come after 8.04, but it's a matter of
defaults really.

Virtualization Made Easy In Ubuntu 8.04

| One of the features that was introduced a year ago into Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty
| Fawn" was support for KVM, which is the Kernel-based Virtual Machine. The
| Kernel-based Virtual Machine provides full virtualization support for Linux
| when running on x86 hardware with either Intel's VT or AMD-V technology,
| which means you can run unmodified guest operating systems such as Linux or
| Microsoft Windows within your Linux host operating system.

Hardy Heron Features
,----[ Quote ]
| The roadmap for hardy heron has a pretty big list of features, most of them,
| although very important, are technical and a bit uninteresting. Some of them
| should have been in Gutsy but couldn't meet the schedule. Hardy Heron is
| going to be a Long Term Support release, so there's also going to be a lot of
| fixes for existing features. So without further ado, the features which I'm
| anticipating the most are.
