Ubuntu 8.04 Beta Released

markybob writes "Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 beta has been released. It features GNOME 2.22 and uses Linux kernel 2.6.24. Furthermore, it uses Firefox 3 beta 4, and PulseAudio is enabled by default. To ease the transition of Windows users, it includes Wubi, which allows users to install and uninstall Ubuntu like any other Windows application. It does not require a dedicated partition, nor does it affect the existing bootloader, yet users can experience a dual-boot setup almost identical to a full installation."

That's great, now go away and let adults have the discussion which is so irrevelant to you.

Check out Gladex

[charlie763]

I know this is kind of off topic, but we've been working really hard to get our project included in Ubuntu universe, so I thought I would mention it. If you are into Python and Glade you should checkout Gladex. We're even a Featured Project on Launchpad.net! Gladex isn't in the Ubuntu or Debian repositories yet, but we do have a PPA going of an alpha release. Alternatively, you can download the stable packages directly.

Gladex is a Python application which takes a .glade file created in the Glade User Interface Builder and generates code in Perl, Python, or Ruby. The generated code uses libglade to draw a GUI and is not raw pygtk code (support via a plugin is in development). Support for additional languages can be added through the plugin API.

Slashdot !! Something from IRAQ for Youz !!

I can't comment about Ubuntu and PulseAudio, but Fedora 8 has never given me an ounce of trouble.

Thank you Captain Obvious -- I knew all that before even reading your bs explanation. Now you're going to tell me that Virtualbox pwns all those solutions.
