Well, the version number 8.04.1 was the version number of the Ubuntu JeOS. Very similar to the Ubuntu Server but with a optimized kernel for VmWare.
see the link here. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/releases/8.04.1/release/ well i searched the repositories, but could not find anything for a few days. so i thought that it has to be installed using the tar.gz file. thanks for pointing out that is there in the repos. Well i am actually waiting for the Debian Lenny release. Once my testing on VmWare is over. My plan is to use real machines. And definitely it will be Lenny.
