About Me
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 26th of August 2007 02:37:30 AM
I saw somewhere that it was advisable to include an "About Me" page for sites and blogs in case someone wants to quote you or address you formally and it adds credibility.
So for those that don't yet know, I'm Susan Linton. I live in the great state of Tennessee in the southern US of A. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Austin Peay State U, and a few credits towards my Masters. I've worked as a middle school teacher, substitute teacher, auto mechanic, factory technician, cashier, auto body sander, auto parts department manager, call center agent and waitress (when I was 13 years old) over the course of my life. I currently run and write for this website and write for other sites and publications.
I've been using computers since 1992 when I purchased my first machine with DOS on it. I later bought a machine with Windows 98 and in the fall of 2000 I switched permanently to Linux. First Mandrake, then Gentoo fulltime, but I've tested about every one out there at some point. I don't claim to be an expert, but I love Linux and open source software. I enjoy installing distros and sharing with others what I see.
I can be contacted at this email address.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and CentOS 7 Get Important Kernel Security Update
Marked as important by Red Hat Product Security, the new Linux kernel security patch is here to fix a use-after-free flaw (CVE-2018-20856) discovered in the __blk_drain_queue() function in block/blk-core.c, as well as a heap overflow issue (CVE-2019-3846) discovered in the mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie function in marvell/mwifiex/scan.c.
It also addresses a heap overflow issue (CVE-2019-10126) discovered in the mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c and a Bluetooth flaw (CVE-2019-9506) that may lead to BR/EDR encryption key negotiation attacks (KNOB).
| Purism: Supplying the Demand
Thank you all for the continued support and remarkable demand for the Librem 5.
As we’ve shared earlier, we are iterating through shipping batches. The purpose of doing so is to increment and improve with each batch toward mass production and share that story publicly. As a result, these earlier batches are limited in quantity as we move toward mass production. Publicly releasing iterated hardware at this level of transparency is extremely uncommon, but in nearly everything we do we try to lead by example. Forming as a Social Purpose Corporation, open sourcing all our software, having PureOS be FSF endorsed, securing the lower layers of computing, or manufacturing a revolutionary mobile phone from scratch… all have required sacrifice but are well worth it to provide people with a values-driven alternative to Big Tech.

| Ubuntu Touch OTA-11 Release
Ubuntu Touch is the privacy and freedom respecting mobile operating system by UBports. Today we are happy to announce the release of Ubuntu Touch OTA-11! OTA-11 is immediately available for all supported Ubuntu Touch devices. You can skip to How to get OTA-11 to get it right away if you're impatient, or read on to learn more about this release.
We were calling this a "small release" originally. Our plan was to cover the backlog of pull requests that weren't quite ready for OTA-10. It turns out, that made this "small" update not small at all.
