They are often prone to bugs and are less tested anyways. A good distro will run stable versions and in some cases even backport securityfixes to older releases. Changing to the latest and greatest might cause problem for some as features are added or removed, or even the behaviour is changed. Today Trustix isn't more secure than most other distros, but they once stood out from the crowd. But if you search the archives you will find some info from the devs revealing that the next version will have more focus on security again. As long as Trustix is shipping updates like they currently do they will be a secure distro. If you look at Debian stable they run truly ancient versions, but are both secure and stable. That said, I'm leaning towards the security of the community based distros. But I do use Trustix for several production servers today and have no trouble sleeping. Time to put on some sun lotion again! _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
