Would love to see someone stick Hardy on it.. I'm running the Beta Hardy 8.04 on my Home machines and it's a bloody ripper. Best Beta OS build I've ever used... faster and very stable. Boot and shutdown times are greatly improved as well... -- Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 The less you know, the more you believe. - Bono The more you know the less you need to say. - Jim Rohn "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" :-P -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
