This morning has mostly been spent updating all my Debian and Ubuntu boxes, and regenerating all my ssh keys. I feel all renewed now!

Thankfully I only had seven machines and one of them was virtual. All of them were patched within 24 hours, just one of them had to wait a few days before it was patched (as it's not on often). I also only had a few vulnerable keys so not too bad, though I took the opportunity to generate new 2048 bit RSA keys to replace the older 1024 bit RSA keys.
It created quite a stir in the Debian community. As annoying and potentially destructive as has been, it helps to remind people that even the best make errors
