sfcrazy writes "Ubuntu developer Oliver Grawert does not prefer to do online banking with Linux Mint. In the official mailing list of the distribution, Ubuntu developers stated that the popular Ubuntu derivative is a vulnerable system and people shouldn't go for online banking on it. One of the Ubuntu developers, Oliver Grawert, originally pointed out that it is not necessary that security updates from Ubuntu get down to Linux Mint users since changes from X.Org, the kernel, Firefox, the boot-loader, and other core components are blocked from being automatically upgraded." Clement Lefebvre, the Linux Mint project founder, has since made a statement and confirmed that Oliver Grawert seems "more opinionated than knowledgeable" adding "the press blew what he said out of proportion." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Canonical+Developer+Warns+About+Bankin g+With+Linux+Mint%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1dbBIMZ ) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstor y%2F13%2F11%2F18%2F2046208%2Fcanonical-developer-warns-about-banking-with-linux-mint%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebo ok) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/11/18/2046208/canonical-developer-warns-about-banking-with-linux-mint?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
