So, the new UBUNTU 8.04 is out, and everyone is out to get it
I have been waiting for this one (For virtualization), so i went and downloaded it with the masses.
The download was very slow, 50-80 KB/s, but sometimes it can drop quite a bit more than that
So, i finished the download, checked the MD5, compressed it, and broke it into 80MB files (You need the free 7zip for windows or linux), the compression didn’t do wonders (since the files inside the ISO are already somewhat compressed), it only made the total size 3’844’044’174 instead of 3’912’095’774 bytes, that is it saved only 68’051’600 bytes !
The compression came out with 46 files, each 83’886’080 and 1 file with the size 69’170’574
an About 68 MBs smaller file is not bad, and rapidshare has plenty bandwidth so i posted the somewhat faster downloads on rapidshare
The URLs of the files are on this page.
once you download and extract the files ubuntu-8.04-dvd-amd64.iso will come out, burn that and you are good to go !
If i have time soon, i will put the file in other places as well for you to download
The page with the download links for the 64 bit version (AMD64) along with the MD5 Sums is here, enjoy
