The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the Release Candidate for Ubuntu
8.04 LTS (Long-Term Support) on desktop and server. Codenamed "Hardy
Heron", 8.04 LTS continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the
latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality,
easy-to-use Linux distribution.
We consider this release candidate to be complete, stable, and suitable for
testing by any user.
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition features incremental improvements to
familiar applications, with an emphasis on stability for this second Ubuntu
long-term support release, and is easier than ever to try out with the new
Wubi installer.
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition follows in the footsteps of Ubuntu 7.10 with
even more virtualization support and security enhancements - enabling
AppArmor for more applications by default, improving protection of kernel
memory against attacks, and supporting KVM and iSCSI technologies out of the
box.
consider this release candidate to be complete, stable, and suitable for
testing by any user. so its safe to upgarde now, to avoid the release rush & madness.

Just installed the 64bit desktop live CD and added KVM/libvirt/VirtManager etc, and installing the 32bit beta inside a VM - Ubuntu inside Ubuntu It's quite fast actually.... Will try installing Windows XP or Server 2008 trial later too...
There are still annoyances, like the Login Window config applet does not remember my setting of Human List and keeps reverting to the blue circles login theme!
One worry I have about Ubuntu is that they release an RC which is still in Beta quality and they give too short time until the final release, not enough time to take in inputs and fix any last-minute bugs before release... I wonder how stable/polished this LTS release will be...
edit: KVM and VirtManager are for sure beta quality, probably better to just install VMware or VirtualBox since they are more polished and robust...
I'd rather wait four more days to install it. Already have the beta, but didn't install cause it would still need a upgrade after the final version is released.
Hi everybody,
Seems u all r masters in linux/ubuntu/fedora etc.
I m anxious to switch to linux from MS$. But could any master suggest me that is there Nokia PC Suite available for linux? As GPRS is the only source for me for internet browsing. I have searched lot for Nokia PC suite for linux with no success. Though some persons from Bangladesh have developed drivers for nokia modems for linux O.S which i m unable to understand. Throwing some light would help persons like me to adapt linux.
Thanks
OK, audio playback is more high-fidelity on Hardy compared to XP! I think Vista has HD audio capability and XP's SP3 will add HD audio... my mp3s sound much better on my cheapo Creative 2.1 speakers
(This is on my on board SigmaTel sound on Intel DP35DP mobo)
edit: lol, i just realised if i hover mouse over a mp3 file, it plays it back
