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