=== Minimal Ubuntu for the cloud delivers some maximum benefits ===

In a glowing review of the Ubuntu ecosystem, Twain Taylor debuts Minimal 
Ubuntu. The new variant is designed for automated deployment at scale 
that is available across a wide range of cloud substrates. Twain goes 
into detail of the difference and proponents of this minimal install and 
notes that it contains all the tools of the standard Ubuntu and remains 
fully compatible with the Ubuntu archive. He points out the huge cloud 
market and remarks that Ubuntu Minimal, for many seeking a fast 
lightweight alternative, will hit that sweet spot.

=== How Canonical Is Improving Ubuntu Linux Security ===

Sean Michael Kerner tells us of his interview with Mark Shuttleworth on

cryptocurrency mining incursion and recent Meltdown/Spectre CPU security 
vulnerabilities. We are assured the technologies in place mitigate the 
risks. A short primer is given of the measures employed.

the Linux kernel 4.19 is out. The version will ship with Terminal Fault

graphics, networking and other improvements. Linux 4.19 is expected to

Nautilus ===

Joey Sneddon, in giving a bit of background, reports that Ubuntu will 
continue with version 3.26 of the file manager in GNOME 3.30's desktop 
because 3.26 still supports desktop icons. Though 18.10 will ship 
without the enhanced Nautilus 3.30, Joey tells of a possible Flatpak 
alternative.
