Last night I decided on a whim to upgrade to the latest RC (release candidate) of Ubuntu called Hardy Heron (8.x). It’s due to officially be released in a few days so I figured it should be fairly stable and I thought I’d beat the rush and upgrade now. Usually I do these sort of [...]

Andy Allan, Peter Amiri, Mike Brunt, Sean Corfield, Mark Drew, Adam Haskell, Jordan Michaels, Alan Williamson, Matt Woodward and Andy Wu
