Hardy Heron Alpha 4 Released
LarryBoy writes "Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) alpha 4 was released Friday and Ars Technica has a look at what's new in the latest builds of Hardy Heron. 'Although many of the significant architectural features like PulseAudio and GIO are still in transitional stages and aren't fully functional yet, Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 4 is still very impressive. I'm a big fan of D-Bus and I'm very pleased to see it being adopted throughout the entire desktop stack in core components.'"
It's because Gnome is garbage. If you know anything at all about software, just try reading some of the code in the core libs *shudder*
Can I be honest with you? You sound like a whiny bitch about Canonical. I don't know if you're angry your favourite distro isn't getting more press and users, or if Canonical sent someone to kill your dog, but this is what open source is. They complied with the license, but they don't have an extensive list of thank-yous to Fedora and whoever else in every press release they send out.
Canonical has, no matter how you may dislike it, taken Linux and made a distribution that quite a few people use and like. Which is a good thing. Whether or not they shake your hand and pat you on the back and rub salve all over your poor, damaged soul.
What is is all that is. Isn't that obvious?
3 version ago Ubuntu worked flawlessly on my laptop. Lacked some features etc but it worked. Now with 7.10 wireless is flakey, video craps out all the time and I can't suspend or hibernate without it crashing on resume. This is the only distro I have ever seen that gets worse in terms of stability with each release. Fedora on the other hand works brilliantly except that wireless on Fedora is a nightmare. I just don't see why people can't combine resources to make stuff work and once it works, don't freaking break it afterwards.
Nah, Debian definitely does not suck. Every piece of Debian infrastructure is Free Software. Debian devlopers contribute heavily to the kernel and a myriad of other important projects. Again, remind me what software Ubuntu contributes to the "community"?
Sharing is caring.
I guess Ubuntu doesn't care very much then.
