The Free Software thing is worth harping on here, too: you have the source, and you can fix the bugs. If it's too expensive/hard/whatever to upgrade to woody, you can pay someone to backport patches for you. It's still not easy, but it's certainly possibly, and in some circumstances, probably even desirable. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> http://www.ertius.org/ Signed mail preferred: http://www.gnupg.org/ Do I look like I want a CC?
