A sneak peak into Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
,----[ Quote ]
| # Encrypted Private Directory - A lot of new operating systems now offer
| encryption support for a small set of files/folders or for the complete drive
| as a whole. On the similar lines, Ubuntu 8.10 shall have a folder in each
| user’s home folder which would be named Private and will be encrypted. This
| would indeed be a great feature to secure the confidential data without
| slowing down the access to casual stuff, like your podcasts, music, etc. Do
| check out the wiki page for encrypted private directory.

Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Alpha 4
,----[ Quote ]
| As the first and only Intrepid Ibex test release in August, Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha
| 4 was released into the wild this morning. This release is coming two weeks
| before the Ubuntu 8.10 feature freeze and the first artwork deadline. Ubuntu
| 8.10 Alpha 4 provides support for a GNOME guest-session mode, an encrypted
| private directory, and it integrates NetworkManager 0.7. Of course, this is
| already on top of Ubuntu 8.10 shipping with the Linux 2.6.26 kernel, X.Org
| 7.4 / X Server 1.5, and many other updated packages.

Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 Screenshot Tour
,----[ Quote ]
| For the Intrepid Ibex, the development team will prepare an unbelievable
| desktop, with amazing performance, that will work on mostly any computer (be
| it a high-end workstation or an old and dusty Pentium III machine). Another
| major feature planned for Ubuntu 8.10 is the ability to be connected to the
| Internet (wireless connections) wherever you go: "We want you to be able to
| move from the office, to the train, and home, staying connected all the way,"
| said Mark Shuttleworth.

Ubuntu 8.10 Screenshot Gallery: New Human-Murrine Theme
,----[ Quote ]
| The last few Alpha releases of Ubuntu 8.10 have been a bit controversial
| because of the dark brown theme, called NewHuman, that it was shipping by
| default. Good news for those of you who weren’t too fond of that theme… it’s
| no longer default in Alpha 4! The NewHuman theme is still included as an
| option, but a new one called Human-Murrine has taken over the default spot.

Looks (skins) are not an issue.
