Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Release Party
Free Geek was proud to hold the Vancouver Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron release party. It is no secret now that computer recycling and free and open source hardware go hand in hand. Linux is one reason we can keep older hardware alive and working well. Hardy Heron is a great edition to the every growing story of Ubuntu. We see a steady stream of people fed up with Vista and wanting more control over their hardware.
Above - The Ubuntu community grows! Having fun at Free Geek, learning and laughing.
