Dear friends:
After installing Fedora and rebooting, I found myself facing the task of
installing 213 security updates with Update Manager. It took nearly 2
hours to download and install them. Since I am the only one using my
Linux OS (as a user, of course), why do I need to worry about security.
Am I not protected by the root/user system. What's your opinion? Please
advise.
I can assure you that not even 10% of those packages where really
security updates. They were plain updates.
Now, for your question, YES, security updates are important, even when
it's your home computer (see how many home windows computers get
infected, even behind a firewall.
