Re: [GTALUG] Federal agency warns critical Linux vulnerability being actively exploited

Lot of people are slow to apply updates. Once you fall off the wagon, it starts to get harder to get back on. I could give examples but that could be making those systems targets Fedora, for example, only provides updates for a year and a bit. It produces new releases every six months. It isn't hard to put something off for a year (I do it all the time). Oops. RHEL, SuSE, and Ubuntu sell their commercial versions with the promise that updates will be provided for five or more years. | From: Karen Lewellen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | If the problem was patched in January, does not Linux update on a regular | enough basis for the patch to get incorporated for most users?
