Ubuntu Hardy Heron Announced
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."
Fucking retard.
Warty, 4.10
Hoary, 5.04
Breezy, 5.10
Dapper, 6.06
Edgy, 6.10
Feisty, 7.04
Gutsy, 7.10
Homo, 8.04
Notice something very strange? The first version number is the lowest. Second is a tad bit higher and so on, with latest being the highest version number. Strange concept eh?
Now tell me, what the fuck is different from this numbering scheme compared to some Windows 3.1, 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 and so on?
Nothing. The fact that you put (Windows 2000) in parenthesis along with 5.0 beside it, indicates that you are confused. You are trying to point out a confusing (according to you) version scheme with
And that's why you are a fucking retard.
I dunno. Windows Ex-pee doesn't really sound that professional to me.
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.
How is "Gutsy Gibbon" or "Feisty Fawn" more silly than "Longhorn" or "Whistler" or "Blackcomb" ?
We all know what to do, but we don't know how to get re-elected once we have done it
I'm sure that "Longhorn" sounded equally convincing at one point....
There is more to science than physics!

No. Now go back to skullfucking yourself.
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...
Apology to Ubuntu forum.
Like how I have outright challenged *NIX heads here to surpass my score on the multiplatform test of security in CIS TOOL, & not a one has surpassed my score on it of 85.185 to date??

Go for it, download & install + run CIS TOOL by the CENTER FOR INTERNET SECURITY:
http://www.cisecurity.org/bench.html
& see how secure even UBUNTU is, even with its default SeLinux kernel hook addons for MAC (mandatory access control labelling system), which is a bite off of Microsoft's ACL's no less, & users on it ran everytime I challenged them here to this test, & to surpass my score on it:
E.G.-> A THREAD ON SLASHDOT HERE ABOUT HARDENING LINUX:
http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=267599&cid
Every one of the *NIX folks there outright RAN!
I have heard AND OVERCOME every objection they threw my way no less!
(E.G.-> I even had to even walk a *NIX person thru how CHROOT jails can be broken out of, & they are NOT ENOUGH by themselves (because of buffer overflow impersonation privelege escalation possibilities in apps), nor is chmod/chroot work, OR IPTables + NetConfig dual homed "NAT FIREWALLING" even... they NEED to use SeLinux SOCKETS LEVEL CONTROL, as well as MAC level control of the disk/filesystem data, for "layered security")...
Folks here always say things along the lines of this:
"(Insert *NIX variant here) is more secure/securable than Windows"
And, to that? I always say this:
Put your monies where your mouths are, put up a better score than mine on this multiplatform test of security (noted no less by SANS & COMPUTERWORLD, both respected sources for security data often cited here @
That's all!

P.S.=> For all that big talk, no one is willing to "walk the walk" here... & prove their *NIX setup is more secured than mine running Windows Server 2003 SP #2 fully hotfix patched! apk
