hey, be glad if one distro that is active like slackware dont have a security advisory , because thats means that distro is a solid as rock.

depend more on GNU/Linux--Slackware) just got to me,
sorry....

Bryan,
I have three production servers all running
Slackware,
IMHO, Slackware is just rock solid, no BS distro and
only uses the most
stable compilation of programs available.
Do you have any examples wherein an application
needs security patches and
Slackware did not provide a patched package?  :)


regards, Kenneth

Hi,

I've noticed lately that the slackware distro has




not




released any new securiuty advisories ,or any new
patches (niether slackware not gus-br) While


other


distros have been constanly releasing patches....




IIRC, this might be a side effect of the distro
packager's (i.e.
Patrick Volkerding) recent illness.





Is Slackware 10.0 still reliable to use on




production




systems?




I'm going on my opinion, so IMO, yes... You might
have to do the
patching yourself, from source. Anyway, if you're
going Slak, I figure
you better know what you're doing.
