Linux Mint servers hacked

by Richard Klein

I haven't read the whole story, but apparently intruders managed to put an ISO on their servers that included a backdoor. If you downloaded an ISO from them on Saturday, you're at risk. http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2994

The only problem I've had was it getting a bit unhappy in a memory constrained environment.. But that is pretty understandable given the feature set. And for the docker using folks out there, you can use the ZFS storage driver instead of using AUFS... Frank

Ubuntu, now with ZFS!

by Tim Keller

I just saw an article that the next version of ubuntu 16.04 is going to have ZFS built in! I don't know what you guys take on it is, but I'll likely do a clean install to have ZFS as my root filesystem. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Any one else a convert to Postfix? *grin* I'm keeping my sendmail book, if only for a reference when I need to debug some craziness in sendmail, but from now on I try to only use postfix if I can help it.

Re: [Wlug] OpenSUSE updates

by Richard Klein

Thanks for asking, Steve. Unfortunately, this email got lost in the pile. That problem cleared itself up, but then I ran into the same problem with other dependencies. Then I discovered 'zypper patch' which suggested downgrading a couple things, and everything has been smooth sailing since.
