Ubuntu turns 7, Canonical gets to work on Precise Pangolin

It was exactly seven years ago today that Warty Warthog, the first actual release of Ubuntu (despite its 4.10 version number), hit the web and have become and almost instant success. In those years Canonical has built the world’s hottest desktop Linux distribution and a strong presence within the server industry because of its LTS (Long run Support) releases . With Oneiric Ocelot within the books, it is time for the team to set its sights on an additional enterprise-friendly and super stable release, 12.04 LTS — Precise Pangolin. Don’t expect any big new features or drastic UI changes, the LTS releases are all about fine tuning what’s already there. Hit up the source for several more details on Pangolin and the more coverage link for the unique Ubuntu announcement.
