Converted to Ubuntu 8.04
The last week I've been having a lot of fun with the new Ubuntu release, Hardy Heron (8.04).
Just like the beta release, it still does not pick up my screen correctly after installation but I can easily correct that using displayconfig-gtk and then the nice thing is that at least the screen power management does now actually work.
However, every time I try to run the login window configuration utility, the hard drive light flashes on and off and the utility never opens.
In general though there are a lot of improvements, not just in Ubuntu itself but all the updated packages it gives me.
I'm not really an artist so I didn't want to try the full Ubuntu Studio but I saw how nice the theme looks and decided to install it on top of my normal Ubuntu. All it took was using Synaptic to sort me out with the ubuntustudio-look package and now I have a pretty sleek desktop.
