I noticed that the Opscode Chef cookbooks don't tend to support Ubuntu
Hardy (8.04.2).

Hardy is a Long Term Service (LTS) release which means Canonical will
support it for 5 years instead of turning off the apt repositories
after 18 months.

I was at a client site the other day and notice apt-get wasn't working
on their ubuntu 7.10 servers. There is a workaround but it's a nasty
reminder that you really only get 18 months support on the standard
releases.

Is there interest here for Hardy recipes? Are there reasons Hardy is
problematic for chef users?

thanks,

Mike
