No Reason not to try Ubuntu 8.04

Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron is the latest version of the well acclaimed Ubuntu. With it comes absolutely no excuse why anyone on PC can not give it a try.
In the past, it has been arduous to set up a Linux system, especially for beginners who may not want to give up the safety of Windows by uninstalling it. To over come this, one would therefore have to partition their hard drive, which could potentially leave ones computer in the state of a mere rock.
The Ubuntu 8.04 is a Live CD; meaning one can boot from it and run it if you wanted to give it a go, just like prior versions of Ubuntu. But this one has an extra kick.
Pop the CD into your drive whilst still logged into Windows and it will autorun with a couple of options. One of those options is to Live Boot, the other leaves no excuse for Windows users not to give it a go.
Ubuntu 8.04 can now be installed as a Windows Application. It will run, just like any other Windows application. But it will be an entirely new operating system.
It admits that it wont run as smoothly as it would if it was a native install, but hey! At least its something more permanent than just giving a Live CD a go one afternoon when you haven't got anything better to do.


'Till next time...
