On to Hardy Heron!

Well, over spring break I upgraded to Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04) on my laptop. It went pretty smoothly. I'm still trying to get Avant Window Manager working the way I had it going in Gutsy. I think it's actually going to be another month or so before they get everything on that ironed out so it works up to par.

Gnome-Do came in the regular repositories, which was a relief. Overall, I do enjoy it a bunch. I have had a little difficulty with Rhythmbox and Amarok sporadically not working, and whenever I try to watch trailers in Firefox Beta 3.0 the whole computer freezes up. I had to download Firefox 2 to use my school's website to take tests and stuff because JRE (Java Runtime Environment) isn't working that great in 3.0 yet.

Pretty good, overall, though, I'd say. I'll be posting an installation guide this summer. I gotta get past exams before I spend much time on anything else.
