RE: Sendmail vulnerability : is Debian falling behind?
Debian co-ordinates between quite a few hardware types, that takes time. If
at the end of the day you believe Mandrake is better go install Mandrake.
Before you do take a look at how many bugs/patches Mandrake has announced v
Debian over say the last year. I wouldnt be surprised if 1) Debian is on
average quicker, 2) the packaging system and pre-work the developers do
means some of these bugs are already ironed out so are never exploitable, so
Debian never needs to release an advisory.

Thing
