Thanks everyone. I'm sorry I'm late getting back to this thread. I presently run Tor, Firefox ESR, and Chromium. I perceive their security efficacy in that order: T, FF, C. In addition to Bloom's suggestions, which I use and which are very good, I have found NoScript to be my most valuable browsing ...

Damn. Nice .0 release. Solid. Did an upgrade. I created an error at 98%: I chose 'd' to compare the grub files without knowing how to navigate back to the install. Oops. I didn't know how to get back to the install that was still showing 98% in the crosshatch across the bottom of the terminal screen...

Testing the final before release to the mirrors. Such good news to read. Music to my ears. It's like Christmas in August. I for one want to say the following: This is one-hell-of-an accomplishment. Thank you to everyone who worked on this project: every day, every hour, every moment. Thank you for y...

It looks something like a cover sheet. The old site was good, I liked it. But, it was very busy looking too, with lots of link targets. The new page seems to be offering more of a taxonomical breakout, listing only the primary headings on the cover. At first glance it looks like everything is gone, ...

Since 1994/1995. Off and on. Lots of different distros over the years, so many of them proving grounds for their more stable commercial releases. Moved away from the constant changers to the more stable releases.

I opened this thread as a Debian and Ubuntu user, asking about the potential data-scraping liability if I were to mount Linux resources using WSL. There is nothing wrong with the question. I appreciate the positive input here from CwF, Pendrachken, and Trinidad. Thank you.

Hi CwF, Thank you for your post. I agree with your assessment of forums in general. I'm presently running one Debian build, one Ubuntu Build, and one W10 build. I was back in school for 10 years ('08-'18) and the 'nix (Solaris, AIX, RHat, SuSE) rust was thick on me. Over the past few years ('17-pres...

I find the lack of technical curiosity on this thread disturbing. It strikes me as a deeply impoverished view of what is necessary for development and communications architectures in modern distributed systems computing environments. I am disappointed.

LE_746F6D617A7A69 We're not here to solve issues about your childhood psychic injuries or your personal emotional entanglements regarding Microsoft. Rather, we're trying to define a technical matter. Please try to separate your personal feelings from the technical question at hand. Your personal mis...

There is an awful lot of question begging in your post LE_746... So much so that I am beginning to suspect you may actually harbor a misgiving or two where Microsoft is concerned. Say it ain't so. Hmm, why don't You just ask the Cortana? It will provide all the answers to all Your questions, just li...

Hmm. Looks like a bit of a pig-in-a-poke at the moment. A robust, parallel state analysis tool that can monitor -but also record and output- a broader set of conditions would be useful. Based on this research, as far as I can tell, the answer is: we don't really have a handle on WSL for a number of ...

Trinidad,

Thank you for the overview and the references to the bibliography; I appreciate it. I will spend time with this reading.

Just to be clear. This topic was opened because I am concerned about data scraping capabilities of the Windows operating system, and how it might affect any Linux resources that are mounted using the Windows Subsystem for Linux architecture. I specifically want to know: if I mount any of my Linux re...

Also: apt utilities, gnome software, synaptic pkg mgr, and snap store will pretty much get you anything you need, once the os is installed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "non-fr...

Below is a link to a fairly comprehensive overview for WSL. As far as I can tell, it doesn't address my specific question about MS, OS data collection function access to mounted Linux resources. I don't see that this question has received much attention within the developer and security communities....

Hi Everyone, In the spirit of the precautionary principle... Is anyone familiar with the data security ramifications of using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to mount ext4 and other linux system drives (e.g., "wsl --mount", etc.)? Specifically, does this expose those devices to Windows T...
