Apple has launched a web page with details about the next version of Mac OS X named “Snow Leopard.” Snow Leopard? Is Apple afraid of running out of cat names? Oh well, Snow Leopard is supposed to have smaller system file sizes, unrivaled multi-core support and extended 64-bit support for breakthrough amounts of RAM. More information here.

Ubuntu 8.04 was released today! The servers are very busy so I will wait a few days before downloading the new desktop version. I can’t wait to try it out. It will have the latest Gnome desktop which has had some cosmetic upgrades, Firefox 3 Beta 5 ( I would bet they will give you an update when the final version is released), F-Spot photo manger and a Video Player that intergrates with YouTube and MythTv. I am excited to see what all there is to offer. Ubuntu 8.04 can be downloaded here.

Ubuntu has announced the next edition of its Linux Operating System Ubuntu 8.04 will be ready for a beta release March 20. This release will be named Hardy Heron and will have long term support (LTS) which means it will be supported for 3 years after the initial release. The last LTS release was Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake. The final release of Ubuntu 8.04 is scheduled for April 24. The new distro will use the 2.6.24-11.17 Linux kernel, the latest Gnome desktop 2.22 just released, Firefox 3, OpenOffice.org 2.4 and Thunderbird 2.12. So look foward to April for an Ubuntu release with the newest Linux Applications around.
