Ubuntu 8.04 Brings Power and Polish to the Linux Desktop (Wired Blog)

[Posted April 29, 2008 by ris]

Scott Gilbertson reviews Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. "Ubuntu 8.04 also features a new version of Xorg, which offers much better auto-configuration options for setting up your monitor. The new Screen Resolution utility also makes it easier to dynamically change your screen resolution and control a second or external monitor. Other significant under-the-hood changes are aimed at improving security -- like the new PolicyKit interface which makes it easy to allow or deny access to applications and even specific parts of applications. PolicyKit is a huge step forward for administrators looking to maintain tight control over their systems."
