Well, heratbleed and shellshock were pretty much global: all systems (not
only Linuxes, not to say particular Linux distributions - my FreeBSD boxes
were affected too) using openssl or bash were affected... Same bad, yet
these were not flops of particular distribution, so whichever system you
decided to stick with , you had these. Not certain about you, but this
kind of makes difference for me. When I say I'm happy about [me choosing
way back] RedHat heartbleed, no heartbleed, no difference.
