Ubuntu - 8.04 (Review)
,----[ Quote ]
| Having used Ubuntu 8.04 since the early alpha testing period, I can say that
| I find Ubuntu 8.04 to be one of the more (if not the most) polished and ready
| for widespread use Linux operating systems made to date. I would have
| appreciated if Ubuntu included utilities to control PulseAudio and Compiz by
| default, but installing those apps were easy enough via Synaptic or apt-get.
| With Ubuntu 8.04 you get the familiar ease of use found within Ubuntu, a
| wealth of open source applications ready to install from Ubuntu’s
| repositories and on top of that the extra stability that seems built into
| 8.04 LTS. Its amazing how fast and far Ubuntu has progressed in such a short
| period of time.

| to be a bit buggy initially and I was slightly disappointed, with it's LTS
| (Long Term Support) tag, how would Hardy perform? Let's find out...

LTS: The Long Term (Ubuntu) Solution
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 8.04 is the long term solution for Linux. People will, at some point,
| look to alternatives for their software as the older versions become outdated
| and unsupported. At the moment, most average users contemplate a switch to
| either Mac, Vista, or this thing called “Linux.”
