With less that 2 weeks until the next release of next LTS OS from Ubuntu I feel it is time to make the decision to upgrade or not. I have been running the Beta version of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) for about a week now. Aside from some minor bugs, most of which have been addressed and fixed by now, the OS is very smooth, quick, and even more user friendly than before.
The Birmingham Area Linux Users and Ubuntu’s Alabama LoCo team are planning on hosting an install fest to help promote the newest release. Times and locations will be posted when they are set.

The previous LTS release ( Ubuntu 6.10) which was released 18 months ago will no longer be supported as of April 25 2008. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 6.10. Some information about upgrading to 7.04 can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades. Feel free to contact the Birmingham area Linux Users if you need assistance with upgrading or if you are interested in trying Linux for the first time.
