Is there a way to lock the computer with Linux ubuntu? I like the function in windows 7 that lets you lock the computer when you're away and prevents others from accessing the computer without your permission. Unfortunately, due to my nosy little brother, I need this. Does Linux Ubuntu have something like this?

In Ubuntu, the feature is called "Lock Screen". In Ubuntu 10.04, it is the first item in the same menu as "Shut Down...". There is also a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+L. Also, a screensaver can lock the screen.
