They’ve come back up with advice to upgrade security on developers’ machines to prevent a recurrence. They give detailed instructions for developers to use 4096-bit keys and not to use DSA. They have promised to issue a detailed report. That will be interesting.

see Kernel.org

SJVN and others give good advice on keeping GNU/Linux systems clean.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
