Sorry. My bad etiquette was not deleting the prior pieces of the thred.
If you are running a regular desktop, chances are that:
1) You are behond a firewall/router of some sort.
2) You are not really using it in a mutliuser environment (i.e., giving
out accounts to random people you don't know).
3) Are able to inconvenience yourself/your limited users (e.g., family)
if necessary.
Exactly my circumstances.
The people that really need to worry are those that are trying to run a
weg hosting business with Sid servers. There you would need a fill time
person to stay on top of security updates. However, with Sid it is not
usually so bad since the maintainers usually upload the security updates
in a fairly reasonable time frame.
