It's been just over a month since the release of
Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, but the first alpha release for the next major Ubuntu release, Ubuntu 8.04, is now less than a week away. We shared with you back during the
Ubuntu Live conference that Ubuntu 8.04 will be a
Long Term Support release, similar to
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. The codename for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is
Hardy Heron. Once Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" Alpha 1 is released we will provide screenshots and additional coverage. There are six Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha and one Beta releases before its final release in April. The Hardy Heron release schedule is available from the
Ubuntu Wiki.
