A little note about Ubuntu 8.04 a.k.a Hardy Heron
My overall comments is “not bad”. I rather disappointed with this release although this release is a Long Term Support (LTS) release. I don’t know if this happens because I’m upgrading from Gutsy Gibbon. I though I must be fresh install everything from scratch (oh my, should I do this option? Come on, I have so many applications with different custom settings, I don’t want to re-configuration all over again, and waste my time to do that :D)
My inkscape is unstable, don’t know. I didn’t have much work to do with Inkscape anyway, but it is still annoying. Since this is an UI bugs, I don’t know how to submit it via bug-buddy or go to inkscape bugzilla/ubuntu launchpad?
Well, too much dissapointed but.. I’m very glad that working with remote files are easily than before. GVFS saves my day. I don’t need ugly gFTP anymore (sorry gFTP developers) because it doesn’t reflect file changes when file are changes on current local directory. I’m using nautilus now for FTPing, I just type: ftp://kutucape.com and the nice nautilus browse my remote folder seemlessly.
GNOME 2.22 has some TODO on GVFS transitions from GnomeVFS, some works on Pulse Audio and move some libraries into GTK+. I thought that GNOME 2.24 is promising. I hope that Intrepid Ibex, a next Ubuntu code name after Hardy Heron will be rock solid and all “TODO” will be finished on this release. My personal opinion, Ubuntu Hardy Heron doesn’t deserve to be a LTS version, it must be Intrepid Ibex.
