Last week, the Ubuntu guys released Ubuntu 8.04, named "Hardy Heron". Instead of posting 24408 news items pointing to different reviews of this new Ubuntu release from all over the world, we decided to collect a few of them over the weekend and present them all in one gulp. I have a feeling some of you might like not seeing three Ubuntu items every day.

Regarding the "girlfriend test"; anybody, no matter how smart, is going to have trouble doing things on a new OS. I have multiple degrees, but if you put me in front of a Mac, it's a frustrating time. Not because there's something wrong with the way they do things, but because I'm not used to it. Concluding that things need to change in Ubuntu because his girlfriend had trouble with it is pretty stupid.
Anyway, Ubuntu. Yeah, I like this release. There are regressions for me that I had to manually fix with the help of others with the same problem. I guess they didn't affect enough people.
I got rid of Pulseaudio all together. With it in sound would stutter whenever cpu usage went above a few %. And I had do to some hackery that I found on the webs to get the optical drive to not run incredibly slow and stuttery.
But, my laptop still likes this release better than any previous Linux version, Ubuntu or otherwise.
