well linux mint is even worse for security then other linux boxes, like fedora or debian. Because the linux mint devs themselves say security is not their priority, and they hold back updates to ensure stability. But that means you are getting patches way later then you should. They forget to sign stuff sometimes, dont' renew their website certs, don't even use good encryption for sig files, A hacker was even putting out backdoored iso on their site last year I believe. If you really want to use linux I would recommend debian, where you can easily encrypt all partitions and the devs take security seriously. Plus its the easiest linux to compile your own hardened kernel for. But like i keep saying it all depends on the user and I am only giving you my personal experiences based on how I've used my own pc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
