Sweet, the latest release of Ubuntu dubbed Hardy Heron is out!

Ubuntu Hardy Heron CD Cover

There are a lot of new changes under the hood. Most notable are:

  • Installation is a breeze.
  • Wubi: one-click installer for Windows.
  • Xorg 7.3 with better defaults and auto-configuration of external screens.
  • Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5 in preparation for the official release of Firefox 3 in June.
  • PulseAudio: new audio driver.
  • Brasero: a new CD/DVD burning utility.
  • Transmission: the new default BitTorrent client.
  • New theme.
  • Compiz: Enabled by default for eye-candy.
  • Vinagre: New VNC client. Also uses Avahi to discover VNC enabled clients on the network.
  • PolicyKit: enhanced security.

I am currently in the process of migrating /home to its own partition so that I can go ahead and upgrade to Hardy Heron as soon as possible.

I’ve already got /home on a partition. Good thing, too.. I went overboard - I upgraded to Kubuntu Heron, then to the KDE4 flavour. Somewhere along the way, I messed it all up!
