images/news/linux.jpgThe Ubuntu developers are moving very quickly to bring you the absolute latest and greatest software the Open Source Community has to offer. Hardy Heron Alpha 5 is the fifth alpha release of Ubuntu 8.04, and with this new alpha release comes a whole host of excellent new features.

Note: This is still an alpha release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released in April 2008.

I've got Alpha 5 running here. I'm surprised how well it works. I've had only a few very minor issues. The new features are nice, especially Wubi. I just wish they hadn't decided to put off the new theme until 8.10. It could use a new look.

I think Kubuntu 8.04 Alpha 5 includes both KDE 3.5 and 4.0, but I'm not sure. I tried KDE 4.0 a few days ago and it still isn't usable. They say to wait for 4.1...
