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.

| brand spanking new Ubuntu 8.04 is the uncomplicated firewall known as ufw.

| is to know about driving it and why it's a good move by Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron Beta [Screenshots]

,----[ Quote ]
| 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.

| from the folks at Tresys. (note: SELinux will not be the default, but is 
| available as a security option.)" Installing it is a simple apt operation.

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.
