Nor 8.04? They certainly existed. I have the ISOs to prove it. If you come
to the release party tonight at Taste of India, we'll have Kubuntu 9.04 CDs
available.
In fact, I have a bunch of 8.04 Kubuntu and Ubuntu CDs here. Kubuntu's not an
LTS of that version, but if anyone wants an 8.04 LTS Ubuntu CD, I've still got
a stack.
