Hardy Heron? Hardly
If there appears to be more interest in the release of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) than the average distribution, I think I should take some of the blame.
Last month, a piece which I authored about what I perceived to be the significance of the release commanded extraordinary interest. And thereafter I noticed a spate of something in the nature of copycat pieces springing up all over the web - with no attribution at all.
A little bit of plagiarism, I guess, is the best form of adulation. Welcome to the wonderful world of the interweb!
But this piece isn't about the copy and paste artists - this is concerned with said release; on April 19, the release candidate for 8.04 was out on the web and it has been running on my spare PC since that day. By the time this appears on the web, Hardy Heron would have been released.
Frankly, I expected more from a release that has long term support. There are bugs aplenty, some of them extremely annoying and serious ones.
