Last year (and the years before), April 24 didn’t mean anything to me. I would do all my activities like the other days. But now, April 24 is different. Okay, I think you know the reason now. It’s because since for months ago I have been using Ubuntu (it was Ubuntu 7.10) and I have been informed that Ubuntu is released twice a year, in October and April. And in April, it’s on the 24th.
Since early last month, I have heard from my friends that Ubuntu would launch its newest version, called Hardy Heron, on April 24. I became excited and planned to have the newest version. And this morning, when I arrived at the office, a friend of mine told me that he had already downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Wow! As a newbie in Linux, I was very excited and I wanted to know what difference Ubuntu offers this time (last year, I was happily surprised to know Ubuntu’s visual effects, called Beryl).
However, because I got some troubles while installing the OS in my office computer, I decided to bring it home. And at home, I installed it in my laptop. And you know what? It worked. Very much. Well, it runs smoothly and faster. Much faster than Windows XP, for me. So, I think I’m gonna enjoy my days with Ubuntu more and more.
