However, the same way I didn't know about the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list I am sure there are many others that are not aware of it. If there is a bug that has a potential of becoming a way to break into a computer I feel that all mailing list be notified of it to minimize the potential damage. Mandrake may have many newbies (I hope you do, you need the business) which are new to Linux and may need this extra help. One nice touch SuSE has is a small icon in the KDE task bar which changes color when there are updates available. Click on it and you get a menu allowing you to check for updates, show the last update log or start the update process. very nice, clean and can help users keep their system safe.
That is another problem. I found out about it from other
distribution's security announcements then I checked MandrakeSecure and
found that they posted the information there. They should send an
announcement like this to the mailing lists.
The only problem is that you're not subscribed to the right mailing list.
Subscribe to the announce list (via MandrakeSecure, the very site you were
on).
Advisories go out in many forms; I can't help it if you don't pay attention
to one of the many:
- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - full-disclosure ml - RSS feed from MandrakeSecure - MandrakeSecure website (on nearly every single page) - MandrakeClub (latest advisory always on the front page)
And no, announcements will not be going to this list or any other list other
than the announce list.
