While some could be introduced by new features, Sarge will be affected by virtually all of them. Even if sarge was only affected by a handful, that would be enough to convert your system into a member of a zombie bot-net and send me (and others on the list) SPAM and generally clog up the Internet (bandwidth is finite). Again, I strongly urge you to upgrade to a version of Debian that will receive security attention if you cannot provide that attention yourself. >I have never seen crash or attack in Linux Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
