    Indeed. We want to make sure the malware/virus attack vector is as large as possible.

    Can someone give me a good reason to use Thunderbird or any other mail client. I haven't felt the need for it ever since gmail arrived.

    Because we don't want to give all our email to Google?

    It seems like every time I look at my computer something else is asking to be updated. Flash, Java, Adobe, Firefox, Windows itself, etc. Can we just knock it off already and update once every 6 months or so? That would be nice..

    You'd like Debian Stable.
