First Look at Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
Last week Ubuntu released Hardy Heron. Before upgrading I was on Ubuntu 7.10. Last week, there was an update notification to upgrade to 8.04. I have also used Mac4Lin theme with Ubuntu.There is some problem with the latest kernel on Ubuntu, some crashes and Mac4Lin dosen't work nicely on Hardy Heron.
Good thing about the upgrade is , you can still select the old kernel i.e 2.6.22-14 during boot.And for Windows users, Ubuntu 8.04 has Wubi which allows users to install and uninstall Ubuntu like any other Windows OS application.
Below are some screenshots and reviews:

eWeek's review:
Canonical has marshaled the best of what the open-source world has to offer in Ubuntu 8.04, a Linux-based operating system that's capable of mounting a serious challenge to Microsoft Windows on mainstream desktops and notebooks. During my tests of Ubuntu 8.04, both in its final form and in a series of test releases that led up to the official launch April 24, I've been impressed enough with the distribution to award it the eWEEK Labs Analyst's Choice designation.
If you've flirted with the idea of switching your desktop operating system to Linux but never took the leap, the time is now. This week's release of Hardy Heron, an Ubuntu release that will be supported until 2011, offers a freer, more productive space for work and play than ever before.
