Meet The Hardy Heron: What's New in Ubuntu 8.04 (O'ReillyNet)

[Posted May 7, 2008 by ris]

O'Reilly's LinuxDevCenter takes a look at Ubuntu 8.04. "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (long-term support) launched on April 24th for desktops and servers. There is something for everyone in this version, but the LTS release will have particular appeal to enterprises. As one corporate user said to me, "I have been waiting for the release of Ubuntu 8.04, because I am using Ubuntu 6.06 on my company laptop and we have to install exclusively long term support releases." The LTS release assures a reliable upgrade paths twice a year with security updates maintained for a full five years."
