[ale] Final Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha Release

[Brian Pitts]

The 6th alpha release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, the "Hardy Heron", is out. 
They've passed DebianImportFreeze, FeatureFreeze, and 
UserInterfaceFreeze. There's not much time left for bug fixing, so if 
you'll be using this version you should give it a test drive now and 
report any problems at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu

 From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule:
March 13th BetaFreeze
March 20th BetaRelease, DocumentationStringFreeze
April 10th KernelFreeze
April 17th ReleaseCandidate
April 24th FinalRelease

Lots of interesting things are being added in this release for the 
enterprise (ActiveDirectory integration, virtualization with 
virt-manager and KVM, iSCSI support) and the average user (the latest 
GNOME, Firefox 3, a GUI for dynamically configuring multiple displays) 
and the potential user (reboot from cd without changing the BIOS boot 
order, the ability to install to a file inside a ntfs partition); see 
the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron/Alpha6
