..... Linux User 147560 | 08/22/08

Full disclosure of what they know as soon as they know it. ye | 08/22/08

I think ... LBiege | 08/22/08

Actually 147560, the facts are that Red Hat's infrastructure is insecure Scrat | 08/23/08

@Scrat: This is a wise thing to do. ye | 08/23/08

Actually Scrat, not doing so would be dereliction bmerc | 08/25/08

They may have done a good job of limiting any damage. ye | 08/25/08

So, limiting damage is less important ? Hemlock Stones | 08/25/08

Did I say limiting damages was less important? ye | 08/25/08

No, you just keep going on and on about a non-problem Hemlock Stones | 08/25/08

No, that would be you playing whack-a-mole semantics games again bmerc | 08/25/08
