Exploits Circulating for Latest Windows Holes
1sockchuck writes "Exploits are already circulating for at least two (and possibly four) of the Windows security holes addressed in Microsoft's updates on Tuesday. Several working exploits have been released for a new vulnerability in Windows Plug and Play technology, which could be used to spread a worm targeting Windows 2000 machines, according to eEye security, which has released a free scanner to help network admins identify vulnerable computers."

If you need to test the machines on your network Nessus http://nessus.org/ has released plugins.
Having to work for a living is the root of all evil.
the enterprise versions are supported for 3 years. fedora is just a testbed, most of the folks that use it (including me) realize this.
if you want long term support, buy something that has it.
PHP is the solution of choice for relaying mysql errors to web users.
First of all, Linux distros support every package on the system, not just the core files like MS update. That means perl, MySQL, apache, even the modules for apache. Everything. With that in mind, compare the Secunia security reports for Mandrake 10.0 and Windows XP Pro 10.0, which hit the market at about the same time. Have a look at the amount of unpatched vulnerabilities in both and see if you can still come to the same conclusions. Sheesh!
Working in a DevOps shop is like playing in a band made up entirely of keytarists.

It's a form of circular reasoning.
