The new version of Ubuntu 8.10 (development code: intrepid Ibex, hereinafter referred to as version 8.10) was officially released at the end of October. A new version often means providing more functions, better security, and more beautiful interfaces. What are the exciting new features and new features of Ubuntu 8.04 compared with the previous version of Ubuntu 8.10? Let's take a look.

I. Enhanced Security

High attention to security is a major feature of the Ubuntu release version. The new version of Ubuntu provides temporary client sessions and user private encrypted directories, further enhancing the security of Ubuntu.

1. Temporary customer session Function

Added the temporary session feature called "Guest session" in version 8.10. When using Ubuntu, if other users want to use this system, they can enable a temporary session (customer session) Environment for the user. Because the temporary session user has lower operation permissions and cannot access the private data of other users, this minimizes the damage that users may cause to the system due to misoperations. In addition, because the new session environment is opened for other users, the user's Active session environment and its data are well protected. The process of enabling a customer session is also very simple. You can click the user and shutdown button in the upper-right corner of the GNOME integrated desktop environment, and click the "guest session" item in the drop-down menu that appears.

2. User private encryption directory

How to protect your personal data is a topic that many users are most concerned about. In version 8.10, we can create a private encryption directory for users and store important private data in the encryption directory. This feature needs to be manually downloaded and installed from the Ubuntu software source.
