One of my favorite Linux distro released today Hardy Heron, the second LTS (Long Term Support) for desktop until 2011 and for server version up to 2013.

Download it here or request free CDs here. Also if you are here in Qatar, I can give you free CDs both the Desktop and Server version.

New features include the Wubi Windows installer and Firefox 3 beta 5.

Presently, I'm still using PCLinuxOS as my Desktop here in my house. Very stable!

Later today, I'll try Hardy Heron and see if this is my Linux for the next 6 months as I usually rotate between Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Sabayon, and Gentoo.

Five days ago, I upgraded Athena (our main desktop PC here) from 5.10 (Breezy Badger) to 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake); it was pretty easy, and even all my additional installations and hacks like chikka, skype, various multimedia capabilities, and many more; all works like a charm.
