RE: [cobalt-users] Linux Distribution and updates

[David Etheridge <DavidE@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again
I regularly check the linuxsecurity pages and get the Linux newsletter.
Is there a seperate list for cobalt security then?

So being as Cobalt is based on RedHat, then a RedHat update would be
safe?

Many thanks for everyones help btw.

Dave

Nope it's cobalt linux which is only based on redhat.

You might want to join the security list and/or join the linux community
and
monitor several sites for possible security problems.
