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."

    I dunno. Windows Ex-pee doesn't really sound that professional to me.

    How is "Gutsy Gibbon" or "Feisty Fawn" more silly than "Longhorn" or "Whistler" or "Blackcomb" ?

    I'm sure that "Longhorn" sounded equally convincing at one point....

    Ubuntu is Linux for human beings,

    You mean like how it's about liberation from proprietary software (except when the install is so badly engineered that they tell you to just "go find your Windows disc"). Yeah, expect those principles to die out pretty quickly when you actually call their bluff...
