Forum thread discussing this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=961059 8.10 release notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 There are a number of OS changes, including the new Encrypted Private Directories support (seems a bit like TrueCrypt, but I haven't really looked into it as I'm still running 8.04.1). In addition, the repositories for 8.10 tend to have newer versions of apps than 8.04. -- Brad Beyenhof . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://augmentedfourth.com Space isn't remote at all.
