Good morning from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Very good morning, a morning made better by the release of long awaited Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
People always look out for Ubuntu releases, this one being a Long Term Support (LTS) is even more sought after.

It was nice to see the shining Ubuntu homepage with 8.04 release announcement. Check out some of the screen shots of the release pages.



One issue I had, there is no torrent for 8.04. Now I love torrents and believe that they relieve pressure off the servers. The absence of torrent was slightly disappointing, specially when they provide the torrents for 6.06 and 7.10.



So I went back to the default download page and used KGet to get the iso for me.



Here you can see KGet (KDE 4 version) performing its job beautifully and I have already downloaded 30% of the iso.

The download will be over in 2-3 hours and Iĺl then enjoy the shining new Ubuntu. Till then bye.

EDIT::
Like Ubuntu, its KDE cousin Kubuntu is also released.

However, the Kubuntu team believes in a torrent and have a torrent for their KDE3 release ( Hardy)


Looks Like Ubuntu people saw this blog :). They have now released a torrent.
