There are security holes in Ubuntu 10.04! The sky is falling! Bill Gates is the maker of the one true operating system; forgive us Bill for we have worshiped at the feet of false Penguin idols. Oh please, give me a break!

Linux, like all other operating systems and software, has security holes. Always has, always will. No one ever said Linux was perfect. It’s not. It never will be.

What makes Ubuntu and Linux better than most of their competitors aren’t that they are flawless. It’s that when bugs are found, they fixed as fast as possible and then the fixes are pushed out to users immediately. There is no monthly Patch Tuesday. If there’s a significant problem, its tracked down and fixed. Period. End of statement

Nothing is ever 100% secure, but I agree in your point you was trying to get across, Microsoft should issue fixes as soon they become available rather than delay.

of what I understand the opensource developers trying to fix them as fast as they can compared to Microsoft is planning and follows a schedule.

Whatever language you speak you'll find a forum that has some "Linux junkies" that will help you thru your problem.

Linux is great and more secure than windows but there are complications. I rather run windows because i'm a windows junkie.

By the way the next version of Ubuntu code named Natty Narwhal will be released on 28 April.

I hope they have improved the network sector; if you don't have the right drivers you are doomed and you will be forced to go back to windows 7.

What kind of problems? I tested for a month Linux Mint and i got everything i needed in the installation pack. Are those versions so different? From what i saw Linux Mint is Ubuntu with most drivers and changed skin.
