Ubuntu Hardy Heron Announced

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the limping-llama-still-to-come dept.

Jono Bacon, Community Manager for Ubuntu, has announced development on the next version of the popular Linux distribution name "Hardy Heron". "Not only will the Ubuntu community continue to do what it does best, produce an easy-to-use, reliable, free software platform, but this release will proudly wear the badge of Long Term Support (LTS) and be supported with security updates for five years on the server and three years on the desktop. We look forward to releasing the Hardy Heron in April 2008."

    On a semi-related note, I've come to like Linux Mint. Its built on Ubuntu and includes some non-free packages(Video codecs, MP3 support, so forth). Also has some of its own config tools which are alright. Not perfect though, I had a little trouble with dual monitor support. Overall, its a pretty nice distro.

    "It does have a 28 day release cycle."

    Patch release is spotty though.
