## Spotlight: Ubuntu Bionic 18.04.1 and new ISO
Along with the first point release of Ubuntu Bionic (18.04.1), the
Ubuntu Server installer was updated. It now carries additional
configuration support for:
 - LVM
 - RAID
 - VLAN
 - Bonds

There is a call for testing [1] for these features in Ubuntu.  Josh
Powers [2] on Canonical's ubuntu server team has a blog post explaining
with details about the new installer features [3].
