New system recovery feature on ubuntu 8.10
Most windows users know about the system restore feature available in it. Now this is one thing that had not been implemented in linux. No more complaining about that. The alpha 5 release of ubuntu 8.10(which has been named Intrepid Ibex) has such a feature. Users will now find a new option in the boot menu named "Last successful boot". And this is how it works.
Ubuntu will always keep a copy of you kernel(healthy, perfectly functioning kernel) and incase of any problem you can simply revert back to this state by selecting the "Last successful boot" option in the boot menu.
The alpha 5 also runs on the brand new linux kernel 2.6.27, features gnome 2.24 beta 2 and has DKMS, a tool that automatically rebuilds all kernel modules when the kernel is upgraded.
Cheers
Aravind.
Bonjour! Have a nice day! :)

WOW
No doubt about this... ubuntu is one hell of a linux distribution... as far as i know i think ubuntu is THE MOST user friendly linux distro available... which not necessarily makes it sophisticated as well. For now we see Ubuntu comes with astounding features from its yet to come versions(periodically 6 months)
Google also is fusing with ubuntu to come up with its own OS called Goobuntu which happens to run on a linux kernel as well!!
