Re: APT vulnerability

"...was recently found to have a serious security hole. It's now patched."
...so it was found an patched before we ever heard of it. Thanks Debian!

I wonder, was this ever a real problem, as in did a hacker ever use that hole and do something?
Not just "a proof of concept"

Re: APT vulnerability

the patch was published (in Debian) and we were able to update before the press release was made.
...


I assume MX has those updates also, but not really sure.

Re: MX-18

"MX 18" or "MX 19" might make some think "reinstall probably needed".

I prefer simple "point releases" (17.2, 17.3, etc.) ... "Update and continue" is the mindset most of us are accustomed to with Debian.

Re: MX-18

I trust Debian for security. Stretch now uses 4.9.0-7 4.9.0-8 and it is current with all security patches.

Re: Mx 17 Snapshot Mate Remix

LMDE 3 is difficult, not a good base for mate desktop. The end result is not complete or fully functional. Not worth the effort.
MX is much better in every respect.
