Ubuntu is relatively a good Linux distribution when it comes to enhanced security however it must be kept in mind that no security solution is 100% unhackable and ever-lasting. You are already familiar with Firewall in Windows now its time to help you install and configure a Firewall in Ubuntu Linux in order to make your machine more safe and secure.

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron has been giving me a good time lately except for the web browsing experience. Firefox 3 beta 5 is included in Ubuntu 8.04 final as the default web Browser even though its not stable. Above all, its not even compatible with WordPress 2.5 and will keep bugging you now and then with new problems.

We’ve never really thought of Red Hat as being a consumer-focused Linux provider, and it looks like the company is content to stay in the enterprise — the company announced today that it has no plans to enter the consumer space. Red Hat says that as a for-profit public company, the focus on the bottom line precludes a risky bet on a consumer-oriented Linux desktop, and that it sees history as being “littered” with failures. Instead, the company is going to work on getting businesses to switch over to managed Linux desktops, which seems like a safe, if somewhat dull strategy. Still, that’s a pretty big potential market to give up, especially as more and more UMPCs and MIDs hit the scene with Linux pre-loaded, and distros like gOS and Ubuntu (seven days till Hardy Heron, kids!) increase consumer awareness. Still, we can sort of see why Red Hat is willing to safely make money in the corporate game — but we prefer our Linux a little more punk rock.

Don’t act like you didn’t have April 24th circled in your day planner — heck, you probably stayed up all night hoping Hardy Heron 8.04 would be launched as the 24th dawned in Australia. Regardless of your level of fanaticism towards the OS, the latest flavor of Ubuntu is finally ready for mass consumption.
