Default Ubuntu Linux 8.04

All you alternative OS folks out there should run on over to Ubuntu’s website and grab the latest version (8.04). Those of you unfamiliar with Ubuntu should read what we had to say about Ubuntu after spending 30 days with Linux last year.

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Long-Term Support) on desktop and server, continuing Ubuntu's tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.

Default Re: Ubuntu8.04LTS Released Today

Already downloaded it Last night, left my laptop on with Firefox at the Ubuntu site and uTorrent ready to begin downloading. This morning, woke up and saw that Ubuntu hadn't updated the site, but I clicked on the 7.10 release and changed "7.10" in the URL to "8.04"...luckily found the files and got torrents for the 64 and 32 bit editions, loaded them up, and left for school...

I'll have them installed as soon as possible
