Quote:Today is April 24th, and you may ask, what significance does that have? Well, today is the anticipated release date of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. As is customary for Linux distributions, Ubuntu 8.04 includes incremental updates to many of the software packages that make up the system, from low-level details like the window manager and graphics subsystem, all the way up to the bundled OpenOffice.org productivity suite.

The new release is also the first to ship with the Firefox 3.0 browser, which is currently still in late-stage beta testing. This is widely touted as the savior of Linux, as it will bring Linux to the masses. I tried some of the earlier versions a few years ago, when I was building a tv tuner system, but opted for a Windows based machine. Nonetheless, if you are a Linux fanboy, you might want to give this distribution a shot. It is free to download, or you can request a copy be mailed to your physical address.

ima gonna nstall this and see what happens
my hd hates being partitioned for some reason so wish me luck

Here's some valuable advice:

BACK UP your data before doing anything. Aside from that good luck, and this new Ubuntu version seems kickass.

Get it while it's free.

Ubuntu will most likely always be free as it's Open Source.

Quote:Ubuntu will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates.

^ That's from the official website.

Eh I always regarded Linux in the same way as sex.

If you're getting it for free, you can't complain.

Also, I don't use Linux. What does that say about my sex life?

xD
