-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Max signs a message to a mailing list with a PGP
SIGNATURE and at
the same times recommends to install from a PPA ;). SICR. I would
install from a PPA too, with or without trusted key, but it's too
funny that somebody who feels the need to sign messages to a list
recommends to install from an untrusted repository. Perhaps I'm
mistaken and kernel.ubuntu.com is a trusted Mint repository.
Glad to bring you joy today Ralf.
If you add the PPA https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa that might give
you a thin added layer of security so you know that noone has hampered
with your kernel while downloading it, because your package manager
will take care of the key exchange and verifying if I'm not mistaken.
You still have to trust Mark Shuttleworth because you download from
the Ubuntu Server, but since you use Mint I recon you trust him anyhow
already.
