Robert Huber, Tenable's Chief Security Officer, said, "Ubuntu Pro offers security patch assurance for a broad spectrum of open-source software. It's offering free, improved security in partnership with the security management company Tenable. Indeed, it's now offering security for, as Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical's CEO, said, "Security coverage to every single package in the Ubuntu distribution."Ĭanonical isn't doing this on its own. Altogether, Canonical is supporting more than 23,000 packages. But, it also includes such developer essentials as Docker, Node.js, phpMyAdmin, Python 2, and Rust. Most of these are server programs, such as Ansible, Apache Tomcat, Drupal, Nagios, Redis, and WordPress. "Yes, you read that right, you get security patches not just for the operating system, but for all of Ubuntu's open-source applications for a decade." Due to that large supporter group of people there arises a number of derivatives of Ubuntu which become popular for their specific use cases and many of them do still existing."Starting with the Ubuntu 16.04 edition and including the later LTS versions, Canonical will offer expanded security coverage for critical, high, and medium Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to all of Ubuntu's open-source applications and toolchains for ten years," reports ZDNet. Ubuntu also provide CD and ships to the address to anybody that asked for that through filling a form. Whenever required a large group of supporters were there to provide solutions and suggestion on the public forums. Ubuntu Community solves that by providing well supported precompiled binaries for a variety of hardware which make installation even on older hardware a breeze.
Even after compilation further significant configuration required. Just look at how many tutorials there are for installing various applications on Ubuntu server for example.Įarlier debian and other were difficult as even basic distro installation have to be complied on the hardware for most installations.
Said: Ubuntu became one of the most accessible and easy to use distro's that in a way brought a lot of people to the Linux world.
