Get a clue moron. There is every reason for a personal user of Linux to worry about security updates and other things, and this is something that will never change,even if it means driving idiots like you away. We *DON'T* want your kind spewing/spreading viruses and other crap in the Linux/BSD/UNIX enviroment like you do under Windows. I hope for you sake you don't post this kind of BS in Linux/BSD or Unix newsgroups or places like SlashDot where a lot of us hang out. Then again go ahead. Most of us *REAL* Linux/BSD/UNIX users could all use a good laugh at your expense.
