Linux Today  Mon, 10/27/2008 - 11:36

Phoronix: "Ubuntu 7.04 was certainly the Feisty Fawn for performance, but based upon these results perhaps it would be better to call Ubuntu 7.10 the Gooey Gibbon, 8.04 the Hungover Heron, and 8.10 the Idling Ibex."


 

Support for Ubuntu 7.04 to end in three weeks

Codenamed Feisty Fawn, Ubuntu 7.04 is preparing its exit, stage left as its developers will soon end the support for the LInux distribution.

As of October 19 Ubuntu 7.04 won't be getting new patches or security fixes so it would be best to upgrade to newer versions like 7.10 or 8.04 LTS.

I started with Feisty Fawn, and after upgrading once Gutsy Gibbon came out, I decided I never wanted to go through that pain again.

That was, until I discovered that you could move your /home folder and all of its contents to another hard drive.

I was thrilled.

Canonical has made my birthday for the second year running (today's my 18th birthday, by the way). Last year I had received the wonderful Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) CD s via their ShipIt! service on my 17th b'day, and today I received my Hardy Heron CD!

I have read a lot about Hardy since it's beta was out and I was dying to try it out, so the CD...
