Steve Langasek announced the second alpha release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) Download: Ubuntu  Kubuntu Edubuntu Xubuntu Gobuntu UbuntuStudio Ubuntu JeOS

Hello Ubuntu developers,

Welcome to Hardy Heron Alpha-2, which will in time become Ubuntu 8.04.

Pre-releases of Hardy are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage.  They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.
Alpha 2 is the second in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Hardy development cycle. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Hardy. You can download it here:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ (Kubuntu)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ (Edubuntu)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ (Ubuntu JeOS)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ (Xubuntu)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/gobuntu/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ (Gobuntu)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ (UbuntuStudio)

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors for a list of mirrors.

Alpha 2 includes several new features that are ready for large-scale testing.  Please refer to http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2 for information on changes in Ubuntu and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HardyHeron/Alpha2/Kubuntu for changes in Kubuntu.

This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs.  For a list of known bugs (that you don't need to report if you encounter), please see: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2

If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Hardy, have a look at the hardy-changes mailing list:

http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/hardy-changes

We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list if you're interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other interesting events.

Bug reports should go to the Ubuntu bug tracker:
