A new version of Ubuntu Server named as version 8.04 is being planned for free downloads’ availability even with more project traits than the prior releases.
Ubuntu Server 8.04 will be sustained for five years, only the second version of Ubuntu to be guaranteed Long Term hold, with the prior 6.06 version also receiving the LTS description.Ubuntu follows its own identification convention on releases, using the year followed by the month to come up with 6.06, released in June 2006, or 8.04 released in April 2008.
Astonishingly, this version of Ubuntu also shows precertified to work with x86 servers from Sun Microsystems, the first server maker to affirm Ubuntu on its hardware. They contain the Sun Fire X2100 M2, X2200 M2, and the Sun Fire X4150.
“The release of 8.04 is targeted at the enterprise,” stated Barton George, group manager of free and open source software at Sun.So the company determined to include it to the same certification procedure Sun uses with enterprise distributions Red Hat and Suse.
