Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS is out, and it rocks!
I just upgraded to the latest 8.0.4 ubuntu release and i am more than satisfied.
In fact, i believe that the improvements (performance, network support, display and gfx card support, encryption and many more) are just about the same huge step forward that 7.10 was compared to the release 6.
After the automatic update, i had firefox 3 (lovely from the start), improved SSH authentication support (better protection of private key etc.) and finally, my wxga display AND laptop monitor configured perfectly even with my not-so standards conform internal GFX card (Intel 950m, in fact).
What else is there at the first glimpse? Improved language support and a nice little search engine (Conceptual rip of from apple i must admit, but well done!) for all kinds of items on your hard disk, and a really sweet new background image. For the artist in the nerd.
Yes, i’m charmed. I recommend it! Especially since it’s a long term support release…
