Moving closer to Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron with the fifth Alpha Release
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron is moves closer to its April launch with the fifth alpha release.
What’s new; You can either run and install Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 5 using the LiveCD, or use Wubi to install Ubuntu on a partition from within Windows. With Wubi a Windows user can install and uninstall Ubuntu like any other Windows application, without having to dedicate it a new partition (I guess this is the most interesting new feature and hope to find it on the final release).
See more features.
This is still a test-version, your advised not to install it on your principal PC because it is still unstable.

Looking forward to it’s release and will be definitely getting 8.10 when it comes out later this year. Being able to install via windows is a great addition. Not been using it but have been interested in it since 6.x was out. Have a mac now, so may use this release on that. Previously ubuntu was a bit buggy on it, hoping this will be better.

To K Owusu: Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon is already very good product, and I mean it. certainly the 8.10 would be better. I tried the 8.10 alpha 4 release… very encouraging. Could try it with VMware Fusion on your Mac
