Hi LUGers,

 From Distrowatch.com:

The Ubuntu <https://distrowatch.com/ubuntu> release team has announced 
the release of both Ubuntu 16.04.7 and 18.04.5. These releases offer up 
to date install media with package fixes rather than entirely new 
versions of the distribution. The new media includes fixes for the 
recent Boothole GRUB boot loader issue: "Similar to the 16.04.6 point 
release, 16.04.7 is a security-targeted release for the purpose of 
providing updated installation media which protects new installations 
from the recently discovered GRUB 2 vulnerabilities (USN-4432-1). 
Detailed information about USN-4432-1 can be found here 
<https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4432-1>."

     There are several flavors currently offered and all run around 2 GB 
in size.

     Bobbie Sellers - who had 175 updates this AM on her rolling release 
to accomplish much the same thing.
