Hi,

My Sylvania g netbook is currently dual booting gOS 3.0, the version
downloaded from the Sylvania Computers website, and Vector Linux 6
rc1.  I'm mostly running Vector because I don't see how to secure
gOS.  I grabbed all the upgrades from the Ubuntu Hardy repository with
synaptic and while everything seemed to install OK the system did not
survive a reboot.  Broken doesn't begin to describe it.

gOS has no repositories of its own, right?  OK, that means I have to
use Ubuntu.  What can I safely upgrade and what is likely to be
problematic?  Do I have to run a kernel with a known security
vulnerability?  I can't take gOS seriously (or use it online at all)
if the answer to that last question is "yes".

BTW, I did install the backport (kernel patch) to a stock 3.0 install
to get CPU frequency scaling working and I did install the latest Via
driver to get 3D graphics acceleration working with no problems.
Security is the last hurdle for me.

Thanks in advance for any input.
