Distribuzione Sprint
Il gruppo di distribuzione della Canonical ed un paio di comunità di programmatori hanno lavorato insieme per una settimana a Wiesbaden. Molto lavoro sull'elaborazione delle caratteristiche è stato affrontato dal momento in cui Edgy è in una situazione di “freeze”. BR Giovedì la ditta IT di “consulting” , CC GmBH, che utilizza Kubuntu, ci ha invitato nei suoi uffici dove ha preparato una cena Sud Africana nella sua impressionante struttura. La cena è stata commentata come “la migliore avuta nel corso delle nostre conferenze”. Our chefs with Mark and Matt: http://static.flickr.com/92/224474985_f130cd7833.jpg?v=0

Upstart svelato
Upstart
Scott James Remnant ha scoperto, questa settimana, il suo nuovo upstart [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReplacementInit init replacement]. Molto interessante, direte! Meglio osservare crescere il prato, non vi pare? Niente paura, Scott ha raccontato tutto in un suo lunghissimo blog: [http://www.netsplit.com/blog/work/canonical/upstart.html blog post], senza omettere ciò di cui ci si deve preoccupare, il disegno, quale upstart debba essere attivato e quale no initng/launchd/SMF/something else. L'upstart si trova attualmente in universe, ma come Scott spiega nel suo blog, l'upstart non può ancora rimpiazzare sysvinit; lo potra fare dal vivo in Edgy tra qualche settimana.

Tips on keeping your Ubuntu Linux server secure
Computerworld published an excerpt from The Official Ubuntu Book by Benjamin Mako Hill, Jono Bacon, Corey Burger, Jonathan Jesse and Ivan Krstic:
"In general, Ubuntu Server is a very secure platform. The Ubuntu Security Team, the team that produces all official security updates, has one of the best turnaround times in the industry. Ubuntu ships with a no open ports policy, meaning that after you install the machine -- be it an Ubuntu desktop or a server -- no applications will be accepting connections from the Internet by default. Like Ubuntu desktops, Ubuntu Server uses the sudo mechanism for system administration, eschewing the root account. And finally, security updates are guaranteed for at least 18 months after each release (five years for some releases, like Dapper), and are free."
