Tag: linux, open source, software, ubuntuScott Wegner @ 11:17 am

Well, it’s finally here, the latest release from the Ubuntu team.  Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron” is the second in the line of “long term releases”.  This means that Canonical and the Ubuntu team will continue with support and updates for 3 years on the desktop edition, and 5 years for the server.

If you’re ready to convert a new system today, the fastest way to get Ubuntu will be through torrents.  If you’re upgrading an Ubuntu system, simply open the Update Manager and it’ll show a new option to upgrade.  Make sure you’ve selected local repositories, because the servers are going to get hit hard today.

Be sure to check out the desktop feature tour.  And if you plan on burning some Ubuntu CDs, print off the CD album artwork for the cases.
