Ubuntu 18.04 released

Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS is out! Support for IBM Z is available here.
It ships
  • Linux kernel 4.15,
  • QEMU v2.11, and
  • libvirt v4.0.
As obvious from these package versions, support for IBM z14 is readily in place.

Since this is a so-called LTS (Long Term Support) release providing approx. 5 years of support (in contrast to the usual 9 months of non-LTS releases), it is of particular interest to Ubuntu users interested in a stable environment for production deployments.
