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.

| ubuntu-security and ubuntu-hardened teams, as well as the huge contributions
| 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.
