For

have

I'll<br>probably
upgrade
the
one
that
I
use
for
less
critical
stuff
once
we
get<br>to
Beta
stage,
but
not
before.
I
won't
move
my
personal
or
critical<br>machines
over
until
after
final
release,
and
I've
had
a
chance
to
work<br>with
the
final
on
one
of
these
machines
until
I'm
happy
that
it's<br>stable.<br><br>>From

Alpha
Release<br>> <br>>
The
6th
alpha
release
of
Ubuntu
8.04
LTS,
the
"Hardy
Heron",
is
out. <br>>
They've
passed
DebianImportFreeze,
FeatureFreeze,
and <br>>
UserInterfaceFreeze.
There's
not
much
time
left
for
bug
fixing,
so
if <br>>
you'll
be
using
this
version
you
should
give
it
a
test
drive
now
and <br>>
report
any
problems

Lots
of
interesting
things
are
being
added
in
this
release
for
the <br>>
enterprise
(ActiveDirectory
integration,
virtualization
with <br>>
virt-manager
and
KVM,
iSCSI
support)
and
the
average
user
(the
latest <br>>
GNOME,
Firefox
3,
a
GUI
for
dynamically
configuring
multiple<br>>
displays) <br>>
and
the
potential
user
(reboot
from
cd
without
changing
the
BIOS
boot <br>>
order,
the
ability
to
install
to
a
file
inside
a
ntfs
partition);

notes
