Ubuntu: next release will be the critical one
,----[ Quote ]
| Says Mark Shuttleworth, Mr Ubuntu himself: "Well, the idea has always been to
| try to pick a relevant adjective, which conveys some of the spirit of the
| release. Some examples: Warty - our first release, was going to have warts;
| Dapper - our first LTS release, was putting its best foot forward; Edgy -
| rapid catchup after Dapper, short cycle, new features; Hardy - our second
| LTS, built to last." (LTS stands for long term support)

,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 4 was officially released today and is now available for
| testing. This alpha offers an early look at some of the features that will be
| 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.

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.
