In case you are wondering what Hardy Heron is; it is a new version of Ubuntu Linux, which is being released tomorrow for download. Ubuntu is one of many distributions of Linux that runs on desktops, laptops and servers. I have been running this distribution for a few years and I think they are doing a great job. I think the only drawback for tomorrow is going to be slow servers, because everybody and their grandma will be trying to download it. (Okay, maybe not their grandma’s… you never know, though). Overall, I am just excited. In case anybody wants to take the Linux dive, and has a spare computer or dual-boot with another operating system, I would recommend Ubuntu 8.04, a.k.a. Hardy Heron as their Linux distribution.

Until next time…
