Happy Birthday Hardy Heron!

Ubuntu Hardy Heron was well named (luckily!).

Hardy has definitely been the most reliable Ubuntu release for me so far.

Hardy has performed robustly for 2 years for me since April 2008 and still going strong in daily use in 2010. Yes, I still use it on (a) my development server and (b) a Tecra M5 laptop. Thanks Ubuntu for a decent LTS release!

I did try each time to upgrade (or fresh install) my laptop to both Intrepid and Jaunty when they came out…but they both failed either to install or work properly, leaving me reaching for my trusty Hardy LTS disk to do a restore.

I didn’t bother with Karmic as Lucid should be out this month…and being an LTS I’m hoping it’ll be another star like Hardy!
