Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Released
After six months of development since the first Toolchain Uploaded from October 2007 and 6 Alpha releases with various Betas, Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron has finally been released today. And as is, the Tech Savvy community is obviously excited. However, don’t get too jumpy now. Besides some security and software updates, not much (besides small technical differences) can be found between Hardy and the 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. However, as it always is in the Open Source community, upgrading is important. And with Ubuntu’s built in package handler and updater, this has and still is easier than ever.
To Update from within Ubuntu:
Goto System -> Administration -> Update Manager
Install any necessary updates.
Once you see the “New distribution release ‘8.04′ is available” message, click the Upgrade button.
It might take some time for Ubuntu to organize the process needed, download the files, and go through the update installation process. Just follow the instructions and be patient.
