Ubuntu 7.04 发布

Ubuntu 7.04预计中的发布时间是今天，可是现在还看不到。请查看下载页面，也许您看到这个消息的时候，已经可以下载新版的Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn了。

同过去一样，你还是可以通过网上预定，来获得CD，数量这次比较少，可我觉得更为合理，原先的10张或者20张，很多都浪费了。现在你只可以订1张或者3张，更大数量，要特别订。
比如在5.10版，我订了9张，6.06版订了5张，现在的7.04版，我只订了3张，其实两张都够了，我只要一个i386版，一个64bit版就可以了。而用在服务器的Ubuntu我想有一个也够了。

预定光盘请到这里

不错，据说新的7.04版，带来了很多新的特性，我所关心的Server版有如下的改进：

Performance improvements: A range of new performance improvements including better performance on multicore processors, support for the Processor Data Area and optimizations for 64-bit architectures.
Improved availability of network services: Improved scheduling for highly parallel services. Services such as SQL and Apache will remain more responsive and stable under heavy loads.
Secure remote network installation: Administrators who aren't physically where their server is can securely install Ubuntu using a remote SSH terminal.

UltraSPARC improvements: Ubuntu now recognises other operating system installations so that it's easy to install without damaging existing data.

Updated LAMP stack: The latest software for developers including new versions of Apache (2.2.3), MySQL (5.0.38), Python (2.5) and PHP (5.2.1).

Updates to the supported cluster suites: Updates to the latest software along with the latest GFS and OCFS2. GFS2 and the new local mount capability for OCFS2 are technology previews for Administrators to start testing before production deployments.
