Been following a thread on the Ubuntu Forums... been flying the entire day. Still no 8.04 download link on the main page, but there are some FTP mirrors that are showing the i386 8.04 download on it

Would prefer to download it when it hits the main page. I dont think I've ever hit F5 so many times in one day before

Will let you guys know when I start the download, and will post links when they become available

hmm... so the uct iso is still RC?, (doesn't declare itself as being RC...)..

all things being equal, would probably still get it quicker elsewhere... speed from uct just dropped to 3kb/s...

Went from 350kbps down to 50kbps

Downloading on the Bulgarian mirror

We seriously need a local mirror...

Long Term Support...

the LAMP will be covered until 2013, while the desktop is safe until 2011...

<edit>
essentially, even though new releases will continue well passed this one, there will be a team dedicated to maintaining this particular distro.. .not really a biggie on the desktop side, but the last LTS LAMP was 6.06, so this will be a fair jump on the server side...

LTS means long term support. So its supported for 5 or 3 years from now. Cant remember the exact time at the moment

I'll see what I can do, maybe I can put it up on one of the local torrent sites and seed it from there
Otherwise Im sure is IS FTP will have it up soon

Vampyre 2099 you are GOOD

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 24 Apr 2008, 15:32

Aah thanks guys

Cool, i'll start the download before i hit the sack tonight. Should be done in the morning

Vampyre_2099 · Post by **Vampyre_2099** » 24 Apr 2008, 15:34

Oh yes, you know how I roll

More like, rofl. Thanks guys, as with Linux, its all about sharing. Sure I could have kept the links to myself and let someone else figure them out... but thats not what using Linux is about

My philosophy for the day

rustypup · Post by **rustypup** » 24 Apr 2008, 15:34

@Vampyre_2099: that UCT link was there this morning.. hence my hesitation over it's honesty in being final or RC...

WAJeff · Post by **WAJeff** » 24 Apr 2008, 15:34

20 minutes until its finished downloading

So is the general consensus that this earlier link was in fact to the RC version?

Today is a good day, I managed to download XP SP3 RTM (so my gf and family's pcs are sorted) and then 8.04 got released which means the guys at Linux Mint can get started on the latest version which means I should have a new version in about a month
