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...
My point was that rapid deployment of a fix for a new attack is critical. A Netgear wrapper for a security fix delays the process, and some people don't need it. So Netgear should do both - provide instructions for advanced users to fix it immediately, and when the update package is ready release the fix for general use.
Also, free support should always be provided when a security patch fails to install properly.
