Full FeedUbuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron” now available
If you’re reading this, you’re probably not a Ubuntu user, as today, April 24, 2008, marks the release of the latest update to the most popular Linux distro out there. Avid users of the open source platform probably already know what today means, so I’ll fill the rest of you in.
As Linux is open source, it is made available to changes, freely, thusly resulting in multiple distributions, or distros. Ubuntu, developed by a group called Canonical in South Africa, is probably the easiest to use among all the distributions of Linux out there. In my opinion, it has eclipsed Windows in almost every facet, gaming being the one category where it falls slightly short.
Nevertheless, the newest version is, as you will probably find out tomorrow, a great upgrade to an already stellar operating system. Go ahead and download it now and see for yourself. Also just in case you have some Linux phobia, version 8.04 has a great new feature called “Wubi,” which allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu similar to how you would any other Windows application, meaning you can install it and test it out without having to worry about losing your Windows operating system.
The now current version 8.04, HardyHeron is replacing version 7.10, Gutsy Gibbon.

“If you’re reading this, you’re probably not a Ubuntu user.” Well, clearly I am since your article came up when I searched on “8.0.4 lts ubuntu upgrade”. Perhaps, I am a moron after all :)

Hope you enjoy 8.04 and Gadgetell in the future.
