Thread: Ubuntu 10.04 Server Security?
hi,
got vps few weeks ago, , i've been playing various linux distros made available vps.
far, i'm quite impressed ubuntu 10.04 lts have question hope not silly ask.
noticed many of software packages not latest - example,
apache2 - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4
on apache's changelog:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/changes_2.2
latest version 2.2.19 has several security fixes/patches.
so, question - software packages comes ubuntu 10.04 lts secure enough production server?
i've done:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
ensure installed packages date.
many insights , advice!

if there important security fix, ubuntu make available through security repository.
don't let version number fool - package maintainers backport security fixes older versions, apache 2.2.14 date security-wise.
