Canonical 公司在刚刚发布了最新的 Linux kernel 安全更新，包括 Ubuntu 以下几个发行版本：Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake), Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)。

这些安全更新同样适用于 Kubuntu, Edubuntu 和 Xubuntu 这些 Ubuntu 的衍生版本，修正了 Linux kernel 中10个严重的安全漏洞。因此，强烈建议 Ubuntu 桌面用户和使用 Ubuntu 的服务器管理员立即升级你们的系统。

这次发布的安全更新涉及到文件系统、KVM、IPv6 等诸多方面，如果漏洞被黑客利用会导致DoS攻击和系统崩溃。Ubuntu 用户升级与你使用系统的发行版相对应的 Linux 内核包就可以修正这些问题。

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS linux-image-2.6.15-55.82.
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS linux-image-2.6.24-27.65.
Ubuntu 8.10           linux-image-2.6.27-17.45.
Ubuntu 9.04           linux-image-2.6.28-18.59.
Ubuntu 9.10           linux-image-2.6.31-19.56.

提示：安装完成安全更新后请重启系统并查看新的内核是否已经正常使用。

Ubuntu Netbook 版： Google Docs 将取代 OpenOffice

根据最新的 Ubuntu Netbook Remix 版开发蓝图，Ubuntu 社区已经决定在最新的10.04版中放弃开源办公软件 OpenOffice，即将发布的 Lucid Lynx 版中打开文档的默认程序将为 Google Docs。

在此之前，Ubuntu桌面版放弃了知名开源图像编辑软件GIMP，默认搜索引擎从Google换成了Yahoo。

According to the latest Ubuntu Netbook Remix Blueprint, the Ubuntu community have decided to drop OpenOffice from the default installation of Ubuntu Netbook Edition for the upcoming Lucid Lynx release, atleast for now. Now documents will be opened by default in Google Docs.

We have previously told you about Gimp being dropped from Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu replacing Google with Yahoo as the default search engine.

The developers have been removing applications that are irrelevant on a netbook. While document editing is clearly a not irrelevant on a netbook, the developers feel that with netbooks being used mostly for internet related works, Google Docs will suffice.

Apart from this, some other changes have also been introduced.

Several applications have been hidden by default:

* Brasero/CD Creator hidden
* Disk Usage Analyzer hidden
* Print job management hidden
* Take screenshot hidden
* Dictionary hidden
* Log system viewer hidden

And some other have been dropped in addition to OpenOffice:

* Tomboy dropped
* PalmOS pilot dropped
* Graphics applications removed

While new ones have been added to provide better netbook functionalities:

* gbrainy added (gbrainy is a brain teaser game)
* Gwibber added (Gwibber is a microblogging client)
* Cheese added (Cheese is an application to take pictures and videos from webcam)
