If usually there is article:
HOWTO Make Ubuntu Look Like Windows Vista (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-make-ubuntu-look-like-windows-vista.html)

This is the other way. Why??
1. It’s looks cool
2. Everyone thought you are using Linux
3. Everyone no longer borrow your PC just for gaming
4. Bored with Windows theme
5. Have free times and masters in doing stuff
6. And if it fails you can use it as reason to change your PC

UbuntuGeek is a place for Ubuntu users to learn deeply about Ubuntu. On that site discuss many how to, steps and tutorial on how get stuff running on your Ubuntu. Because the site is so interesting for me so I add put UbuntuGeek’s RSS on my sidebar. Enjoy!!

From HowtoForge, here come the guides to makes a perfect desktop using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

The guides really simple and straight forward, just follow the steps provided and you’ll have a great Desktop.

Installing Ubuntu as LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP - Perl - Python) Server is very easy. As it already has the choice available if you installing your Ubuntu using Ubuntu server CD. It’ll install Apache with mod_php and PHP and Mysql along with php_mysql module. All tight up together. Not like in Fedora/CentOS/Redhat where you install Apache without PHP, which may lead to miss some configuration.

Simple and straight forward configuration is available on UbuntuGeek.com

Finally Ubuntu 8.04 is OUT!!! I’ll download the desktop and server edition and play with both. Especially the server edition because someone ask me how to install and configure Ubuntu for Web, Database and File server.

He is server is using AMD 64bit but I am just download the 32bit as my test bed, and if everything ok! I can do the same thing with Ubuntu 8.04 Server 64bit.

Supposed to be today is the day when Ubuntu 8.04 LTS released, but when I visit Ubuntu Site I didn’t found any information that they has released. What happen??? Did they hit some obstacle? or they want to enhance it before releasing it? Well I just hope it’s a good news

From Ubuntu Fridge: Anouncing the Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04), the next version of Ubuntu that will succeed Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10, due for release in October 2007). Not only will the Ubuntu community continue to do what it does best, produce an easy-to-use, reliable, free software platform, but this release will proudly wear the badge of Long Term Support (LTS) and be supported with security updates for five years on the server and three years on the desktop. We look forward to releasing the Hardy Heron in April 2008. Detail story here

But don’t expect to found new interface and blink-blink stuff in this release as the Ubuntu Developer planned to released this version with LTS up to 3 years for Desktop and 5 years for Server. It’s mean you can always has free security update for this release in next 3 and/or 5 years. Normal version of Ubuntu only has 18 months of support for security updates. Info about LTS visit Ubuntu Wiki. If you still want to make your Ubuntu looks sexy you can take a look this tutorial.

From Softpedia: Every two years, Canonical prepares an LTS (Long Term Support) release of one of the best desktop Linux distributions available today. Actually, this is the second LTS edition of Ubuntu, the first one was 6.06 (Dapper Drake), released on June 1, 2006. Now that the beta version of Ubuntu 8.04 (codename Hardy Heron) is at the door and since I’ve tested all the alpha releases, I think it’s a good moment to introduce you to the good parts and bad parts that Canonical prepared for this Long Term Support release. Therefore, this article is here to inform Ubuntu veterans, people that have discovered Ubuntu recently and future Ubuntu users, about the things that they should expect from Hardy Heron, in April 2008! Detail story here

Below are the simple list what’s new on Ubuntu 8.04:
