Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was officially released on 24 Apr 2008 and I like tens of thousands of other Ubuntu enthusiasts was looking forward to downloading the final release. I wanted to test drive Ubunto 8.04 LTS on my trusted old Compaq Evo N610c.

Do you miss watching live cricket or UEFA soccer? Are Sports packages on Cable/Satellite TV too expensive? Don’t worry be happy because in comes Peer-to-Peer TV (P2PTV) to the rescue. As the name suggests P2PTV leverages Peer-to-Peer technology to distribute audio/video. The first question someone would have is how is the quality? The answer is its very good and the secret lies in the P2P technology. Every user who is downloading the video stream is also simultaneous uploading the same video stream hence contributing to the overall bandwidth.
There are many P2PTV software available but the oldest and most popular amongst the lot is SopCast.
