@SeaGL Your distribution labels itself "LTS". Does that mean that every package will get security updates long term?

Join us for SeaGL, October 23 and 24!

Let''s look at what's LTS and what's just unmaintained, and how that affects your security.

Free Software distributions are self supported systems. Many think that self-supported means there’s no helpdesk, and they don’t need one. But "self supported" really means that you're the one responsible for the maintenance of your systems. You can choose not to follow upstream releases, but if you're not participating in CVE review and backporting patches, it might not get done. That’s the real price of Free Software.
