Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS released

This doesn't always work though...  I've had a different freeze bug ("IRQ nn, nobody cared" -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2....) on Feisty, Gutsy
and Hardy kernels - the only cure is to run with "irqpoll". 

Many non-techies would not be able to diagnose what was happening here, so I think this sort
of kernel bug will slow Linux and Ubuntu adoption on the desktop.  Maybe the Ubuntu kernel
team is under resourced, but I get the feeling that stability bugs aren't always the high
priority they should be.
