Linux Mint website hacked, malware embedded into release.

Just when I am thinking about starting to look into Linux --

 

It's not really a linux security breech but sloppy website and package management security from the Mint team.

 

Want me to send you a USB stick with Fedora installed? Boot from USB and try it in a live environment without touching your HDD. Download Fedora Workstation

 

Thanx, but not yet. I've a couple bottlenecks to open first. The new laptop will have W10 on it, and I have to find a way to upgrade it to Pro. I think I have it sourced, but need to confirm. And, of course, the machine has to get here and customized. After all that, the old laptop gets the Linux treatment. If I can figure it out, will set it up as a dual boot if the HDD will let me. All that will just clutter my belfry at this point. (Talk about single bell belfries ---)

 

If the job actually paid well, I would love to be the guy who travels around to pay these scumbag hackers a visit.
Seriously --hack Microsatan or GE corporation for Pete's sake, even Apple-Tosh.
Another brick in the wall, I guess. Linux is still the most secure OS on the planet.
