Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 6 (Hardy Heron)
Saturday, March 15, 2008 | Labels: 64-bit, Ubuntu | |
I've just installed the latest Alpha version of the next and upcoming Ubuntu. So far everything is working fine. Firefox 3 Beta 4 is awesome; web surfing is so much faster, and it runs on less memory (making my 4GB worth of memory seems... worthless :P)
I managed to install Flash and got it working via apt. So from now on, I guess I will be posting more howtos on this version of Ubuntu soon. Meanwhile, check out the screen shot; if you want to see more, please tell me :D
Btw, I installed the 64-bit version since I am on my desktop running on an Intel E2160. Here is my desktop specs, just in case you are interested to see what hardware I am using this Alpha on.
Motherboard: Gigabyte EP35-DS3
Processor: Intel E2160 1.8GHz (overclocked to 3.2GHz)
HDD: A very old 40GB PATA HDD
Graphics: XFX 7900GT VIVO Edition
