Linux groups are a group of people who help other people and host
files for other linux users to download.. Is this what you mean?!

Or were you looking for their url's? I don't know what the url's are
i'm sure someone can help you on here though? Ian who's been replying
to me seems pretty smart.

Well just because it's an issue with CSS doesn't make it right does
it?!

A few people have said that OSS is better than CSS and in truth it has
the same faults, if not more, and it also has it's advantages, and
probably more so than CSS.

It's swings and roundabouts.

Alot of programs i download are not very popular and so i do tend to
download from anywhere i can find an app that will do the job i
require, if i have no option there is very little i can do about it.

You cannot download the source code for CSS and modify it to breach
the end users security, it just cannot be done, yet it is possible
with OSS, open your eyes before starting to label me as a troll.

If you cannot reply without acting like a big upset kid then don't
bother because it's not helping anyone, least of all those that are
not interested in this thread.

The 25% are patches that currently need a reboot, the remainder do not
need a reboot with the standard patch.

If i install a patch and it asks for a reboot i opt for the no option,
our box isn't visible to the outside world as it goes through another
box on the internal network which in turn administers the mail and net
connection for our users, sure there are exploits that would probably
get through, but as time is money and past experiences show that we're
fine then it ticks over fine how it is, without any reboots required,
it's purely sat there running the sql server all day and thats about
it.
