Tagged Under : linux, open source, Operating System, ubuntu
It’s 4 more days to go until the final version of Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron hit the street. The CEO of Canonical, Mark Shuttleworth guarantees that this version will make it on time. So, for all Ubuntu fans out there (including me), you don’t have to worry. You will get it for sure.
If you go to Ubuntu official website, you will see a link to download a release candidate of Hardy Heron. If you don’t want to wait until the final version come out, you can try this release candidate version and upgrade to stable version later. The release candidate version is considered complete and stable for testing by the Ubuntu development team.
Some updates include in this version are:
- The latest Gnome 2.22.1 with new version of Nautilus file manager
- The 2.6.24-16.30 kernel which is base on 2.6.24.3
- Firefox 3 beta 5 as the default browser
- The PulseAudio sound server is integrated in the Gnome Desktop
- New screen resolution utility
- Wubi installer for easier installation for new user
