Since Ubuntu 8.04 has been released i wonder if anyone has tried it, im still downloading it at the moment but im interested to know if anyone has tried it yet, and how they think it compares to the previous releases

I'm doing a buddy-system download: I download the server iso and my friend downloads the desktop iso, then we burn eachother disks and that way each only have to download one iso instead of 2. Mine will be done in about half an hour... excited!

Well I haven't really had much of a chance to check it out, but so far it's a definite improvement over previous versions.

First up, it actually runs on my laptop now (previous versions failed due to video driver issues). From zero points to some points, % improve -> /0 error

Secondly, I've been able to install it and more importantly GRUB on a USB HDD attached to the Lappy (mind you, I had to edit the GRUB config file for it to load partitions correctly).

I like how it has a windows installer now. This will make it much easier for windows users to upgrade. I'll probably keep using windows xp as my primary OS, but for the next computer I build or buy, I'm thinking I'll probably just go with Ubuntu, now that it has such wide support.

ive been having problems with getting the propriety nvidia driver working so ive installed 7.10 and im going to upgrade once i download ubuntu 8.04 alternative, i dont want to use the network upgrade thingy cause the download speed was fluctuating to much when i was using it

Hey i use 7.10 and i ask you Hadry Heron users what are the changes ?

i dunno i havent noticed anything speciffically different though i havent run either 7.10 or 8.04 enough to know.
the default resolution for 8.04 is 800x600 now rather then some ludicrously high one

I've been using ubuntu 8.04 for over a month now. I really like it. I've tried ubuntu in the past but didn't think much of it. Not enough to change anyway. Which brings me to this. I have for the first time ever been using Linux exclusively for over a month now. I really like using Linux. Especially ubuntu 8.04

One of the main changes I notice is that Compiz is included in the installer.
