But ultimately misguided post on how Linux is more secure because it has a smaller share of the desktop market; the old ’security through obscurity’ myth is hard to get past it seems.

Perhaps no better explanation about Hardy Heron’s new features then here; a true no-nonsense, jargon-free write-up with just the slightest touch of snark.

To the community; even if it is just showing off your 3D spinning cube; you don’t need to be able to grep or proc your way around the command line to be in a position of making Linux stronger. You can start (if you use Ubuntu) by going here and reading some of the ideas and even adding your own.

To get suspend/hibernate working with a notebook in Ubuntu, or any Linux for that matter with the now Alpha 5 version of Hardy Heron; it was weird seeing some lights on the Thinkpad that had not been lit before. Boot time is much faster than anything previously from this distro stretching all the way back to Dapper Drake, and shutdown time is near instantaneous. This is on Ubuntu (GNOME) whereas before I had always run KDE version (Kubuntu). Those two features working make the various Alpha breakages worth it all.
