Most business laptops and some of the end user ones too now include a fingerprint reader.
Those are perfectly possible to use on Linux either by using thinkfinger (IBM/Lenovo) or fprint (HP).

The various PAM modules for those should be installed by default or at least be easily installable and integrate correctly in the default desktop.
GDM, gksudo and the gnome screensaver would have to be modified in order to correctly support fingerprint readers.

That way the user would be able to login either by entering is password as usual or using his fingerprint.

Orange Brown theme should not be the only one included
There should be color themes based on all the basic
colors e.g. blue theme, yellow theme, red theme, black theme
green theme.

Improve iPod Classic support  
Written by maccam94 the 6 Mar 08 at 01:43. Category: Hardware support. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
The latest iPods, the iPod Classic (aka 6G) have encrypted music databases. Libgpod 0.6 (and thus Rhythmbox) supports decrypting it now, but a command must be run from the terminal. Ubuntu should handle automatically decrypting the music database, so new users aren't left wondering why their iPods don't work.
