Hi andyj

--- Quote ---Since the 4.14 kernel is LTS, does this mean that we'll have an LTS version of TC too?

That's a question for one of the administrators.

curaga:
No LTS, 9.x will be a normal version.

Juanito:
intel has released a microcode update for the spectre vunerability dated 2018/01/10 - this should eventually find its way into a bios update for reasonably current hardware.

In the meantime, after downloading from, for example, arch linux, the microcode update can be loaded like this:
--- Code: ---$ cat grub.cfg
...
initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/rootfs64.gz /boot/modules64.gz
...
--- End code ---
note that intel-ucode.img must be the first in the list.

If successful, you should see something like this:
--- Code: ---$ dmesg | grep -i micro
microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0x21, date = 2017-11-20
microcode: sig=0x40651, pf=0x40, revision=0x21
microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2.
--- End code ---

curaga:
The microcode update is for Spectre, not Meltdown. Meltdown cannot be fixed like that.

Juanito:
oops - corrected above  :-[
