Hi, |

I just stumbled over an article from SearchSecurity.com which was linked to |
| 4 |
in a heise newsticker posting that tries to analyze how fast distributions |
| 5 |
react to security vulnerabilities: |

Quick chart: |

|
| 11 |
Rank Distro Points/100 |
| 12 |
---- ------------------------- ---------- |
| 13 |
1. Ubuntu 76 |
| 14 |
2. Fedora Core 70 |
| 15 |
3. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 63 |
| 16 |
4. Debian GNU/Linux 61 |
| 17 |
5. Mandriva Linux 54 |
| 18 |
6. Gentoo Linux 39 |
| 19 |
7. Trustix Secure Linux 32 |
| 20 |
8. SUSE Linux Enterprise 32 |
| 21 |
9. Slackware Linux 30 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Rank 6 out of 10 is not a great result -- at least we beat SUSE ;) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Any comments or thoughts about this? |
| 26 |
Can we become better? |
| 27 |
Are we maybe better than the author pretends? |
| 28 |
Does the security team currently face serious problems that need to be |
| 29 |
solved, be it inside or outside the security team? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I am just curious and would be glad to get some feedback :) |
