Security Updates

Whoopsie!

IMHO Debian is still the best "complete" linux distro by a long distance. The package management is unrivalled (forget ports compared to DEB). The system is stable out of the box and is relatively easy to setup and use (granted not as easy as Windows, but it is getting better). It is powerful enough for geeks and easy enough to use for beginners (without being crippleware).

In short,
This ****-up will not affect my decision to use this as an eventual replacement for Windows, however it still has a LONG way to go before that happens.

*laughs*...Mind you, it is a pretty bad one to drop after three years of development!
