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 tried moving to Debian recently (etch, 64-bit) and switched back immediately. I didn't keep a record of the things that Just Didn't Work, but the way trying to use the nv driver crashed the system was pretty close to the top of the list. It did not inspire in me a feeling of confidence.
I'll try again someday, and when I do I'll try lenny. But not today.

I tried Debian Etch to step out the Ubuntu upgrade cycle for a time.I experienced some issues that I got fed up trying to fix.For example could not get YouTube videos with sound.
Otherwise Debian is really good.Feels solid and responsive.I will try again sometime when I get tired of Etch and if Heron doesn't suit my tastes.
