I only use images from the official download page and while I installed my main 12.04 laptop (that I use for my work) from the original 12.04 image now I only have the 12.04.1 image left, so I cannot re-check the image as I don't have it any more. And apart from that - I am usually not alone with my problems - e.g. some of the kernel problems I had, I reported them directly to the kernel folks and got confirmed. What is far more probably the case: I have a lot of stuff installed (no games, no Wine but VMware, Virtualbox, Citrix, several VPN clients I need to access customers, 2 different versions of TeamViewer, etc etc). My experience with others where I install and support Ubuntu is that especially for distribution upgrades they tend to fail as soon as you do a little non-standard stuff (add some repositories for particular needs and the like). > 1.

But if the WLAN-Router is rebooted then you get those password dialogs. > A good example is that greater numbers of desktop users would NOT > increase security problems.

But the attacks mostly done "automatically" from infected servers. Indeed two days ago at a family member I have seen a virus setting DNS servers to a server at Google - so you can be sure that there are even servers at Google that are hijacked! Also have seen even online-banking servers being hijacked and distributing viruses over the browser. Servers do get infected! And yes, even those that are running Linux! I have seen hijacked Linux-servers. However in those cases they always got into the system through PHP issues.
