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.

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!
