Ubuntu 7.04 Released!
April 19, 2007
The latest version of Ubuntu has been released into the wild! I'm currently grabbing the torrents off of our lovely fast unfiltered internet connection from Citescape. The joys of testing a new server O/S! I've put both of the torrent files up for download off of my site since Ubuntu's site is slow, but it's just a test - if it hammers my site too much I'll be taking them down.
What's new in this release? The biggest thing for me is built-in virtualization allowing easy testing of O/Ss and major patches before deployment. It will be interesting to see how well this works out. Off to testing I go!

I love that your service rocks our socks. E. and I might be moving out closer to my parents soon (Clear Lake area if that means anything to you), so we may finally be able to use you guys for residential access.
Are any of your techs anxious to try the latest Ubuntu? I know that you're an OSX/RedHat shop - but surely they have home machines for experimentation.

Jordan...I am passing around your offer to see if anyone will bite. You both are like brothers from another Mother for all of the love you pass my company!
