Security Update



Yes, im using synaptic to sort the update, its just because i have a limited b/w before (actually i often choose an important update first (security update)). But now i have more speed to download (all) it in a short time. And yes, im still using Breezy Badger version (5.10) not the newest version, just because i feel comfortable with this version (truly, i hate to configure much thing again) n i have a mid-level notebook specification :lol:.
