Apparently there's some vulns in Linux that let you use a ton of system resources or cause a kernel panic over the internet with some TCP features

Good news, you can work around them all pretty easily without compiling your own kernel

To go on sale in the US this month: Lenovo ThinkPad P laptops with Ubuntu.

Dell may be the best-known Linux laptop vendor right now, but Lenovo is looking to muscle in on the pre-installed Linux machine market.

Shipping Linux on high-end, premium machines like these is indicative of one thing: demand.

Lenovo is clearly hearing from its customers, from businesses, and from developers that they want LINUX out of the box.

OSS is great! Why? This morning a girl contacted me because she had issues using mepcheck (https://github.com/alanmarazzi/mepcheck) a Python package I wrote a couple years back. Because of it she now can conduct some previously very difficult research work, in the meantime she's learning Python and how to code and I think this is simply one of the coolest things ever!
