Ubuntu 8.10 released
Posted on | October 31, 2008 | 3 Comments
The latest version of Canonical’s popular Linux distribution Ubuntu has hit version 8.10. This is the ninth release dubbed “Intrepid Ibex” of this linux distribution and now with native 3G support in the standard installation, along with a refined default theme, a guest account (similar to the kind seen in Windows and Mac OS X), and Dynamic Kernel Module Support.
Not to mention native support for installing the product to a USB device right from the installer! I haven’t tried it yet but I’ll try to read some reviews first to get some user’s feedback.
On the other hand, Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition brings it better support for virtualization, and per-user directory encryption.

Hi Lloyd, Glad to see your post but of course it is over my head! Although I did go over to the Ubuntu home site and read that it is software for laptops… am I on the right track? Great info. Thanks Lloyd
