    The Security Comunity as a whole (especially the commercial service offices
    who gat paied to make up new security leaks) is very good in finding,
    tracking and classifying bugs. This together with the distributors works
    very well for Linux users. What are you missing?

    Well, since most often the developers rely on the same source to be notified
    about it, its not really a problem.
