The beta version of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS has been released. "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server follows in the footsteps of Ubuntu 7.10 with even
more virtualization support and security enhancements - enabling AppArmor
for more applications by default, improving protection of kernel memory
against attacks, and supporting KVM and iSCSI technologies out of the box. The Ubuntu 8.04 family of variants, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, UbuntuStudio, and
Mythbuntu, also reach beta status today."

I'm in the same boat, though it's not looking too good for me. The bloat factor with this one is huge 
And a lot of new stuff that's not had much testing, gnome gvfs, selinux for starters.
I guess we'll see when the final is released?

How can a single CD distro have a "bloat factor"? What, specifically, do you consider "bloaty" about it? Selinux is an available package which you can apt-get *if you so desire*. AppArmor, is still the default. And gvfs comes with the updated Gnome. Would you prefer they stayed with 2.20?
This is an LTS release. So you can bet that they will not let it out the door until it's solid.
