Good luck, Steve security.debian.org and non-us.debian.org are the same machine. So apt source you specify above is just a non-us source; It has nothing to do with security at all. Woody is *NOT SUPPORTED BY THE SECURITY TEAM*! Keep this in mind, because when you see an announcement of a new Debian security fix there is no guarantee that you'll get it installed on your woody system when you next do a dist-upgrade. In fact it's really more likely that you won't, since the fix will have to be applied to sid first. If you keep this in mind, and keep up with security news, then it is possible to run a reasonably secure woody system. I'd wager that it's usually at least as secure as any "out of the box" Redhat installation, but you really never know. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | A subversive is anyone who can out-argue their government | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
