You don't think that a question relevant to all Linux distributions is 
relevant to Ubuntu? Do you also complain when people have Gnome 
questions and Firefox questions and OpenOffice questions?

Ubuntu is a distribution. Almost any question could conceivably be 
directed elsewhere, but that's not the Ubuntu way.

One of the selling points we use to promote Ubuntu is greater security. 
Figuring out exactly how that is true is relevant here.

Best,
Daniel.
