It is reported that Benjamin Franklin once said: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” It’s a quote that we hold quite close here at UKFast. We’re always trying to help our team, our clients and the community to learn and develop, and we’re proud to announce […]
I love a vintage treat, a nice retro designer jacket or racer bike from the seventies, but when it comes to technology it’s a different matter. Linux distro CentOS 5 reached ‘End of Life’ last week and operating system Ubuntu 12.04 is set to reach End of Life on 28th April 2017. Whilst this puts […]
It’s well-known that the tech community is a big fan of weird and wonderful nicknames for their vulnerabilities, but while the name of the new one – ‘Dirty COW’ – is particularly special, don’t let the tongue-in-cheek name fool you; it’s affecting Linux in a big way and there are steps you need to take […]
If you enjoy both a good workshop and the hit operating system Linux – and let’s face it, who doesn’t? – then we’ve got a special treat in store for you! As we continue our crusade to bridge the digital skills gap in the region we’ve worked with The Dean Trust to design a five-day Linux […]

Here’s the latest information on the situation, and on how we’re protecting our customers! Last week Google and Redhat announced there’s a bug kicking about in the glibc library that could potentially give attackers […]
Here to spice up your Wednesday is a new ‘mega bug’ in Linux. The vulnerability potentially affects hundreds of thousands of Linux users and has the internet all of a bother. While it’s still in the early stages and it could well be a case of overegging the pudding (there isn’t even a cool name […]
A new flaw has been discovered in the Linux operating system and judging from its guest appearance in the Daily Mail headlines, it’s bad in more ways than one. Good news is that patches are available/being worked on. If this all seems hella confusing and you just want to know what you have to do […]
Microsoft has announced that it’ll be throwing down a new Linux distribution for its Azure cloud computing platform.
