As an avid Linux user (Ubuntu and SuSE), I was pleased to see the release of Hardy Heron which is the successor to Ubuntu 7.10.

Kubuntu 8.04 is scheduled to be released towards the end of April 2008. This release will introduce the future of desktop computing by incorporating the new KDE 4 desktop as well as providing continued support for the KDE 3.5 desktop.

You can install Kubuntu 8.04 by downloading the .iso file or you can upgrade from Kubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 Beta over the internet by following these few simple steps [Upgrade Instructions].

I am in the process of conducting both and will provide a full review soon.
