The Hardy Heron has taken flight: it's the second LTS (Long Term Support) release of the world's most popular distro. New features include the Wubi Windows installer and Firefox 3 beta 5. Grab a copy here, and check out Linux Format's overview of the release.

Good Stuff

Good release, gvfs is nice and much needed, like the new clock applet and love the utube plugin for Totem(Though actually works with totem-xine).

Firefox 3 look real nice in this release with all the tango icons and native GTK theming. Does me well for my artwork and love GIMP 2.4. I like how you dont have to load up the Live CD now and just goes to the installer if you want.

I've been really waiting for this release to give Linux another go. Cannot wait to install it and see if I can do away with Windows.
