Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron released

http://www.ubuntu.com/

This is a significant release of Ubuntu. Not only is this release an LTS or Long term Support version (which means that support for the desktop version will be available for 3 years, while server versions will enjoy 5 years of support), but this version also includes several enhancements to make it easier for Windows users to try out Ubuntu without affecting their current OS.
