    Need an OS recommendation for children.

    Another thing that popped into my mind; there might be a children-oriented image in the SUSE Studio Gallery. Those are basically all openSUSE derivatives with custom features/packages/configuration/etc.

    Need an OS recommendation for children.

    These might be useful: http://opensource.com/education/14/1/teaching-kids-linux and http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/43224.aspx Really, though? Ordering things from Amazon at 3 years old? I'm impressed.

    VPSBoard New Logo

    Hmm. Not bad per se, but the positioning of the balloon seems "off", and there should definitely be more padding around the logo in the forum theme:

    Critical crypto bug leaves Linux, hundreds of apps open to eavesdropping

    As far as I understand, it's not the same bug, but a similar one that's a little more complex.

    ServerCrate compromised

    Well, at least they notified their customers properly. A certain provider didn't even manage to do that correctly...

    Critical crypto bug leaves Linux, hundreds of apps open to eavesdropping

    That is an absolutely ridiculous vulnerability. And it does indeed smell of backdoor.

    LiquidHost - new stuff, DDoS protection, DNS and backup space, SLA

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    I've already indicated that it wasn't a smart idea to try and use this as a leak check. I just stated this in the post above. I also stated it to you the first time we discussed this.
