When was this questionnaire posted? I didn't see it and get a chance to answer.

Also, I treat servers different to desktops due to different threat models. The server automatically applies security updates and keeps most feature updates sitting for a while for stability, but on desktop I just install everything within a couple of days.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
