Using aptitude to update OS6
Is it safe to use the Debian internal update mechanism, i.e. aptitude to update the system or should I wait for the offcial OS6 releases? Some packets are updated much faster by Debian than by Netgear...
Jarkod, I think that beta releases have been an effective way to push security updates, since many users here don't have any linux skills, and would have trouble manually installing security patches. Though the idea of pushing targeted security patches (similar to windows update) would be a good alternative - and many users do shy away from betas.
I also think that adding packages quickly to the repo, and posting commands needed to install security updates quickly would also be good.
I'd also like to see some faster way for Netgear to publish CVEs rapidaly - identifying the specific firmware versions that are vulnerable - even if there is no fix yet. Perhaps via this forum, or perhaps an email push.
