I read the article, not paying attention to the date, and was aghast
that it said they were running Debian 6. I started to compose an email
to the list about it, then looked back at the article. It's from 2013.

Thence, two questions arise.

1. Due to the effluxion of time, are they still running Debian, or, have they changed the OS?

2. Also, due to the effluxion of time, have they upgraded the OS (if they are still running Debian, have they upgraded to the latest stable version; similarly, if they had changed the OS, have they upgraded to the latest stable version of whatever they are running)?

It still may be worth composing the email, and, sending it, putting those two questions...
