New Hope Springs With That Hardy Heron!
Hardy Heron, aka Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, is set for release in April. This comes as great news for a few reasons. Hardy Heron promises to fix the annoying Hibernate/Suspend issues and add some pizaz to Ubuntu overall.
Sporting the latest in Kernel, X, and Firefox (3), this new release may be a gigantic leap for Linux as a solution and replacement for Windows.
The Live CD comes with the ability to install within a Windows environment, just as you would any Windows application, so you can test it (minus the hibernate/suspend) on your machine before committing to it.
Enhanced security features demonstrates Ubuntu’s ability to “nip it in the bud” when it comes to foreseeing future security issues. They’ve even added a built-in firewall, which is very cool.
To see all the new features of this upcoming release, visit www.ubuntu.com/testing.
Enjoy!

P.S. Those Live CDs are coming…I’m running into some minor issues in the creation and need to work out all the kinks before I let you at ‘em. Thanks for your patience!
