Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

I'm writing this from the Live CD of the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) Beta.

I'm REALLY impressed, more than I was with Gutsy (7.10)! I'll most likely be installing this later on tonight, and I'll put up the results on my other blog (blog.joeb454.com) afterwards. I'm out til later tonight, and most of tomorrow, but the results will definitely be up at some point :) Everything seems to be working out the box which is nice.

Also this mark's the first time I've used a Linux disc-burning app...I'm using Windows less and less now-a-days, though despite that, I'll keep it on my laptop, just because I'd find it hard to delete something I've paid for ;)

Missing Linux?

As I mentioned in an earlier post of mine, I recently upgraded my Windows Vista install, to Windows Vista Ultimate, as I managed to get a copy for nothing ;)

Anyway, I reinstalled GRUB as I said I would, but only got round to doing it 6 days later, and when I finally booted back into Ubuntu, I realised just how much I'd missed Ubuntu/Linux during those last 6 days, it was a strange feeling, though it leads me to believe that I'm beginning to prefer using Linux over Windows, and my usage habit shows this as well :)

Still, it can only be a good thing :D

Ubuntu 7.10 64-Bit

I'm just about to install the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), and I put the disc in while I was still in Ubuntu, and I noticed something strange on the root of the disc. There's a file called wubi-cdboot.exe and I can't figure out why it's there, because as far as I know, Ubuntu doesn't officially support Wubi.

If anybody could shed some light on this it'd be nice :) Also bear in mind it's one of the official pressed CD's
