There are more interesting Linux desktop distributions to choose from than ever before. However, if you're looking for major distros with a great deal of support, you'll want to look at the big four: Fedora, Mint, OpenSuse, and Ubuntu.

Each has its own outlook and methods. Thanks to Linux's customizability, you could take any of them and completely revamp it, if you wish. But unless your idea of a good time is operating system hacking, chances are you'll want a distribution that already meets your needs.

Well, I just have one Ubuntu running (my other linux are pure Debian and fedora), but I think that this set of updates from Ubuntu deserves attention from all users... Those are Kernel vulnerabilities, in a range of Local and Remote DoS to privilege escalation. So, my advice is to check if you can apply the updates right now, otherwise, try to apply as soon as possible. --------------------------------------------- HOD: Pedro Bueno ( pbueno //// isc. sans. org)
