Ubuntu 8.04 released
Posted April 24th, 2008 by Liam Green-HughesCongratulations to the Ubuntu community on the release of Ubuntu 8.04! I am currently downloading a copy of Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 Remix and preparing to make a jump from KDE3 to 4, which should give a modern looking computing experience anyway. I've been playing with the beta version of the Remix CD for a while now, and KDE4 seems to have improved quite a lot since I first blogged about it back in January. I'll about the experience of installing it on my laptop in the next few days, and since seeing this video on YouTube I'm tempted to install it on my Asus EEE PC as well! Ubuntu is a project I much admire, the name is an African term for "humanity to others", a concept they bring right into their community through the use of a Code of Conduct which encourages participants to treat each other with respect. This has resulted in an atmosphere on sites related to their project, for example the Ubuntu Forums, which I think is quite welcoming to people.
