Hardy Heron

This post is composed under Ubuntu 8.04 — Hardy Heron.

Ubuntu Logo Linux jaux.netI installed Hardy in my Lenovo Y410 half an hour ago. Most hardware (monitor, video card, wireless card, wireless mouse, webcam, etc.) work out of box, but like 7.10, the sound card still requires some efforts to make it work. In software, Gimp is upgraded to 2.4.5, OpenOffice.org now is in version 2.4 and Firefox 3 beta 5 is installed as default.

A lot of improvements, but pretty much no excitements for me (Firefox 3 can be counted as a “Wow”, but I’m using it at work everyday, so…). I’m kind of disappointed tonight. However, I heard that Hardy has a feature which lets user to install this Linux distro on top of Windows; this could be interesting, but I haven’t gotten chance to try it yet.
