Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron – available on April 24th

Posted on April 22, 2008 by Nick. Posted in ubuntu.

So Mark Shuttleworth says: ""This is our most significant release ever" and I believe him.

First reason: all OS vendors / providers say the same about their newborn OSs. Why wouldn't he.
Then:
– this is the second release to have long term support (so it will have learnt a few lessons from the first release to offer this: Dapper Drake), 
- comes with KVM and VMware virtualization built in and comes in a stripped-down version called JEOS (Just Enough Operating System) for software "appliances" that run on virtual machines, does anyone remember VMware ESX ?
– better integration with Windows' Active Directory for corporate users
- a certified, downloadable version of Java software
- can be installed directly into the Windows file system so people can try it without having to reformat their hard drives. Pop in the disk and go play!
– better integration with web applications suck as flickr
- if you just cannot wait go to Ubuntu Hardy Heron Download and try the latest available beta.
– you'll also get the latest Firefox (3 beta 5), Brasero, Transmission, Vinagre, Totem and Inkscape

Enjoy!

Cheers…
