Yes, FF3 will still be the default; remember that Hardy is going to be a LTS release, so supported for two years on the desktop: in two years from now, FF2 will just be a memory (unsupported by Mozilla Note further that according to the Hardy release schedule (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule) that there will be an 8.04.1 (SP1 in Microspeak at the very beginning of July, so that will almost certainly have the final FF3.

Baba: I think the founder of ubuntu already explain that he use ubuntu on his laptop and kububtu on his desktop. Mark, can you confirm it before the troll? Thanks!

Mark Shuttleworth says: I don’t think anyone was trolling! I have an Ubuntu laptop (Dell M1330, new box with a great LED screen though I’m still adjusting to the mousepad). I have a Kubuntu desktop, which I’m in the process of rebuilding inside an Alienware modded gaming system – boots Vista occasionally. And I have a Mac desktop at home too, which I use for video editing.

I’ve begun testing Hardy Heron and I’ve already found some bugs. So in the interest of getting the best OS possible I’m going to try and report all bugs I find and track their status prior to the final release. I’m sure I̵…
