Características do alto 10 no Heron Hardy de Ubuntu 8.04

A contagem regressiva para Ubuntu 8.04 começa finalmente hoje porque agora há somente 9 dias a ir para o lançamento oficial do Heron Hardy de Ubuntu 8.04. Mas antes que os amantes de Ubuntu comecem suas mãos em Hardy, sua antecipação mais grande é sobre as características e as aplicações novas que vêm em Ubuntu 8.04.

É compilada abaixo uma lista das 10 características novas superiores a esperar no Heron Hardy de Ubuntu 8.04. Algumas destas características têm sido introduzidas já em beta Hardy quando algumas deverem ser introduzidas ainda no estábulo Hardy do Heron de Ubuntu 8.04.

1. Mudança do carregador - Na versão adiantada de Ubuntu, na tela que de menu do carregador nós temos somente uma opção a escolheu se nós quiséssemos a elasticidade ele uma tentativa ou a instalássemos. Foi chamado “começo ou instala Ubuntu”. Agora em que o CD vivo é ofertas automaticamente carregadas a escolheu sua língua, e você tem duas opções novas “tentativa Ubuntu sem nenhuma mudança a seu computador” e instale Ubuntu.

2. Xorg 7.3 - O Xorg novo 7.3 está vindo com Heron Hardy. Esta abilidade traz uma utilidade nova da definição da tela que permita que os usuários configurem dinâmicamente a definição, refresca a taxa, e a rotação de um segundo monitor. Isto será particularmente acessível para os usuários do laptop que conectam a um projetor ou a um monitor externo.

3. Semente- Ubuntu 8.04 traz também uma semente nova 2.6.24.3 que venha embalado com “o Scheduler completamente justo” para a sustentação interativa melhorada do desempenho e dos dynticks para o saving de poder nos computadores do desktop e de laptop, e os reparos novos que foram fundidos no último poucos meses na semente do mainline.

4. Gnome 2.22 - O Heron Hardy traz-lhe o Gnome o mais atrasado e o mais grande 2.22 com lotes de características e de melhorias novas, tais como um nautilus novo que use GVFS como seu backend. GVFS faz possível reparar shortcomings do nautilus tais como a inabilidade restaurar limas do lixo, pausar e undo operações da lima, e fá-lo-á possível escalar privilégios do usuário para determinadas operações usando PolicyKit para o authentication. Traz também um impulso significativo do desempenho a muitas operações.

5. PolicyKit - PolicyKit é integrado agora nas relações de usuário administrativas. PolicyKit allows fine-grained control over user permissions and enhances usability and security, by allowing administrative applications to be run as a normal user and gaining extra privileges dynamically only for privileged operations instead of requiring the whole application to run as root.

6. New Applications

  • Seahorse – the new "sheriff in town", set to manage your encryption keys.
  • Transmission – the default BitTorrent client.
  • FireFox 3 Beta 5 – replaced FireFox 2 and it is now the default browser in Ubuntu 8.04.
  • Vinagre – a brand-new VNC client, which makes connecting to single or multiple machines easy.
  • Brasero – the new CD/DVD burnung tool in Ubuntu Hardly Heron.

7. World Clock Applet – this clock can display time and weather in mutliple locations.

8. Firewall - Ubuntu 8.04 includes UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall), a new host-based firewall application configurable from the command line which is designed to make administering a firewall easier for end users while not getting in the way of network administrators. You can simply start firewall with sudo ufw enable.

9. Memory Protection - Secure Memory Management, will help defend against rootkits and other malicious code.

10. Windows users – Wubi new installation tool for Windows users. This tool will help Windows users easy install Ubuntu and still have Windows installed. Also here is the old umenu tool.

Some will love it, some will hate it, but that is what the Ubuntu developers prepared for the second LTS (Long Term Support) release of their 100% FREE operating system, Ubuntu Linux.

  • nice job on the list. Brasero is a good tool I got to try it a little bit on my last pc. I hadn't seen anything written about memory protection. I'm guessing this is something outside the kernel. We'll seehow. heron turns out from what I hear theres a couple bigger bugs they're trying to get fixed beforerelease.
  • aussiebear
    Are there any specific details as to how "Secure Memory Management" works? I'm curious to know about this.
  • Stumbled! Informative post about Ubuntu.
  • Cant wait to try it. The Wubi installation is useful

    Some will love it, some will hate it


    What's that suppose to mean? Why would anyone hate it?

    I tried out the beta and I thought it was just super. Of course I ran it from the Live Cd so I didn't get to really run it through the wringer, but I sure liked what i saw.
  • Nate
    Hopefully the new kernel fixes all the power save problems from the past.
  • @James II, don't know, but have lot types of people in this world, so you think all will love it. It will be haters too, but lovers will be more then we can imagine.
  • Steve
    Screen resolution control, bring it on. The rest? Everything we've never wanted.
    What about hardware support? Wifi, anyone?
  • Jeff
    Two big hopes:

    1) Suspend-to-disk works as well as it does in XP on my notebooks;

    2) The ability to get wireless networking not to either a) reconnect to the last network it connected to, or b) allow blacklisting/greylisting named networks, to protect against WLANs that "just happen" to have similar names.

    I haven't figured out how to solve either with Gutsy - and I'm hardly a *nix noob.
  • Kim
    "Hardly Heron"? that's the most funny typo in months :D
  • Michael
    I cannot remember what the tool was called but when I was doing the beta testing there was an application like Google Desktop that allowed me to search my computer. I think that will be a cool tool.
  • Wow, this Ubuntu thingy is getting bigger from day to day. I hope they can execute things like PolicyKit in a good way.
  • Sayne
    I don't really agree with including Firefox 3 Beta. Although I have used it and found it fairly stable, it doesn't seem like something that should be included in an official release. However, most linux users would be comfortable using beta software and hopefully know what to do if they encounter a bug.

    I've moved over from XP to Ubuntu 8.04.
    When will Linux (Ubuntu)get rid of the archaic coding requirements (apt-get, dpkg -i, etc.)?? This hurdle is the *biggest* deterrent to Windows users who are aching for something just as easy, flexible and different to move to. I've been trying for more than a year now to get my colleagues & department to switch (>150 potential Ubuntu users)and this problem of having to execute code is the thing that stops 98% of them. Please! Someone think about the silent majority, and stop preaching to the converted - get rid of the need to code - anything.

    @Brian D.
    First, using dpkg and apt-get are not "coding".
    Second, there are multiple GUI tools and frontends to dpkg and apt-get, making using terminal commands unnecessary.
  • kendon
    The boot options thing is actually not really an advantage. when I installed yesterday it said to myself "wanna install, hit install". after giving the installation everything it needed it started, and I got bored to death in about 2 seconds, because there was no browser, no IM no nothing to fool around with. luckily I was able to start a second xserver with a gnome session, so I didn't have to die of boredom ;)
    actually it saves you one click and a few seconds of booting time, I think the OEM install feature is a much greater effort!
  • @Brian D.: Most of these commands, especially what you mentioned (dpkg -i and apt-get) have graphical versions available by default in Ubuntu. It is simply easier to tell someone the command version. Example:

    GUI-
    1. Download this file: file.deb
    2. Open up a file manager and find where you downloaded the file to.
    3. Double click on the file
    4. Click to install the file
    5. Click OK when you are done.

    Command-
    wget http://myblog.be/file.deb
    dpkg -i file.deb

    While the GUI version is easier for some users, it is much quicker to write out and do the command version.
