Do we really need an article every time an alpha or beta comes out?
-
Just finished installing and I got to say I like what I see
-
Ok so I'm a total noob when it comes to such stuff. I recently bought a Core 2 Quad (haven't gotten it yet) and I want to install Ubuntu on it. I have to install the amd64 version on it right?
-
I am so looking forward to this release. The addition of virt-manager and kvm by default makes me happy. I hope it works better than the virt-manager in Fedora 8. Fedora 8's version is so full of stupid bugs (the latest dbus patch broke alot too and they're in no hurry to fix it) that it's nearly unusable. Well, almost everything I've used in Fedora 8 has been extremely buggy; especially the admin GUIs. Hopefully I can switch from a CentOS 5 server to a Hardy server.
-
I like it to. it's still a tad buggy, but I liked the revamped install cd and a few other new additions
-
I hope I can finally try out a version of Ubuntu on my PC, I have a P5W DH from Asus and apparently it has major compatibility with it (something about a JMicron chip). Here's to hoping, I really want to learn how Linux works (majoring in IT).
-
Ubuntu is *****.
-
Is it still brown...?
-
Is this where i say Vista > OSX > Ubuntu
-
Is anybody else afraid Ubuntu is getting bloaty? Hardy Heron isn't much more than a software update if you ask me. I already have to delete about 200 megs of software I'll never use after a fresh install.
-
I cant wait to install the final version next month. This will be my 3rd update since I first installed/switched to Ubuntu/linux. Just as I feel my OS getting a little old and stale, 6 months has rolled around and I can do a new fresh install.
-
I thought they were going to change the default theme. ... i guess it is ... the beta?
-
Catchy name.
-
I love how in Ubuntu, everything is included.
I dont need to go installing Office and all my other apps because almost everything i need is default.
This is great!! -
>The beta version of the latest Ubuntu was released today.
Yes, but does it run SuSE? (don't tase me bro, it was just a joke; Ubuntu is awesome.) -
I love Ubuntu, especially on my laptop. But last time I tried to install the most recent Ubuntu release on my PC, I had issues getting through the installation due to some conflict about my PC not having a floppy drive, and it would just sit there probing. Hopefully this won't be a problem anymore. Anyone run into anything similar, or have any relevant info?

Hungry Hippos!

And who cares...
This is lame. -

I cannot wait to try it. I've really enjoyed using Gutsy Gibbon and 8.04 is really shaping up to be a great release.
-
I'm seeding the hell out of this. FiOS is sweet!
-
Booyeah! Going to get Kubuntu Hardy Heron.
-
What's with the small-ass Title Bar font that comes with 7.10? If my IQ wasn't over 80 I'd consider that the last straw and run back to Windows.
-
Let's torrent it up diggers! I'd like to see a couple megs a second tonight.
-
DOLPHIN! nice!
-
So, Firefox 3 will be released on or before april 28th?
-
Nice to see Ubuntu progressing steadily to the release. Not my cup of tea, I think there are better distro's out there, but it seems to have captured attention. Too bad Kubuntu is such an ugly step child and never developed seriously. I prefer KDE and there are much better KDE focused distros out there. Shame most people are exposed to Gnome/Ubuntu as their first experience, all the really cool linux tricks just aren't there. For those tech savy think KIO slaves for example.
-
Is Ubuntu the new fad? You don't need to explain to me what it is I already know.
I't just that lately I see at least 1 or 2 stories about it every day on Digg front page. -
Yes.I've been waiting for the next Ubuntu Heroin I was getting withdrawals.
-
Nice! I'm looking forward to the final release - I've been using Hardy since Alpha 3 and it has been working perfect for me.
Once that is out, the Intrepid Ibex will have the updated theme everyone has been talking about, can't wait for what the art team comes up with. Maybe they can get the Fedora or openSUSE guys to come lend a hand, as those are beautiful distros as far as art is concerned. -
Ubuntu is an old African word for "too dumb to install BSD"
-
I tried out the last alpha, and finally there is support for my synaptics touchpad out of the box!
Thanks god, cause you couldn't even use 7.10 or lower on my laptop due to the touchpad not being recognized. You'd have to like edit xorg's values manually......and there were like 20 different ones.... -
I hope its not brown again....
-
YES YES YES YES!!!!!! OMG!!!! BETA!!!!! YOOOHOOO!!!!! not.
Linsux. -
easiest way to update from 7.10 to the hardy beta is:
sudo aptitude install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release -
Will wait for official release, but I am comping at the bit for this upgrade. Go Ubuntu.
-
Does 8.04 recognize more wireless cards?
I reely want to use Ubuntu but most of my computers are wireless and getting Ubuntu 7.10 to see my wireless cards was way to much work.
so as of now im useing xp but would like to use Ubuntu. -

can someone explain why linux looks so crappy?
-
I like ubuntu but whenever I see this version's name it looks like hardy hardon.
-
I think Wubi will really begin to migrate users from Windows into the Linux world at a much fast rate than ever before... Twice as fast as a Live CD! Way to go Ubuntu!
-
Installed it last night and so far everything is terrific. For those complaining about the theme, they changed the default from humanlooks to one based on the murrine engine, and it looks much, much nicer. Snappier as well.
-
I really don't like the brown theme, so I change it as soon as i install Ubuntu..
But then.. I start missing that ugly brown desktop, and i switch back. It is nice and comfortable and i like that new heron wallpaper. I love that brown theme..
I really don't know what I am talking about... -
Upgraded my Kubuntu last night. Flawless.
-
duplicate. there is one in the front page. Burried.
-
A *beta* of a *minor version* of a Linux distro. Wow, uh...I'm pretty excited...
-
Am I the only one who read "Ubuntu Hardly Heroin?"
-
This is really a great release the best one in my advice but the only thing that make me dont use it is the lack of FakeRaid support i can't install on my Nvidia stripped array.....
Oh yeah i can but i have to follow an how-to that take age to do and it wont work.......
So if you have an onboard Raid controller all you can do is booting in the live CD and that's all.....
