DKMS
DKMS (by Dell) is included in Ubuntu 8.10, allowing kernel drivers to be automatically rebuilt when new kernels are released. This makes it possible for kernel package updates to be made available immediately without waiting for rebuilds of driver packages, and without third-party driver packages becoming out of date when installing these kernel updates.
以後在Linux上安裝硬體就不需要再手動重編Kernel載入驅動程式了，DMKS會幫你搞定。
Samba 3.2
A lot of new features have been added in Samba 3.2, including:
- clustered file server support
- encrypted network transport
- IPv6
- better integration with current Microsoft Windows™ clients and servers.
很重要的是支援Clustered File Server。看第四項的意思應該是針對AD的部份做加強，SMB 2.0的部份應該是不會在Samba 3.x支援。
Exploring the SMB2 protocol介紹了SMB 2.0 Protocol。因為Header與opcode全部都與SMB 1.0不同，我想是因為這個原因，Samba才決定在Samba 4.0之後才會支援SMB 2.0。
Clustered File Server的部份可以參考這個Presentation。目前應該是類似MS DFS，不過未來目標則是希望能做到File Level的Clusetering。
python-vm-builder
This is a complete rewrite of ubuntu-vm-builder featuring a better template system, a plugin architecture allowing support for other distributions, front-ends and additional functionalities such as post install task (--exec, --copy) or first boot (--first-boot, --first-login). It provides a compatibility mode with the previous command-line syntax and adds better reporting.
Python-vm-builder allows you to create a new virtual machine in a few minutes without going through the interactive installation process. It can be very useful for developers, software vendors or system administrators. A tutorial is available at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder
JeOSVMBuilder是一個前端程式，可以幫使用者建立一個Ready to use的Virtual Machine。
JeOS is now an option in the server installer
In an effort to simplify our build process and avoid confusion when trying to install JeOS on real hardware, JeOS is no longer provided as a separate ISO. Instead, it is an option that is activated on the server installer by pressing F4 on the first screen and selecting the "Install a minimal virtual machine" option.
JeOS將整併進ubuntu Server中成為一個安裝選項。
