Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS released
Sure, Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope will be out in a few months and Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex has been available since October. But the folks at Canonical are still supporting Ubuntu 8.04 because it's what's considered a Long Term Support (LTS) release. And they've just pushed out the second major update: Ubuntu 8.04.2.The latest version won't have all of the new features that show up in Ubuntu 8.10 like the new BitTorrent and VNC clients or the latest Gnome and KDE desktop software. But Ubuntu 8.04.2 does feature a bunch of bug fixes and security fixes. So if you're still running an older version, or want to install a fresh version of Ubuntu Linux that will be supported through April of 2011, you might want to check it out.
