not really. last I heard debian 2.2 will be supported for security until about june 2003. by contrast, debian 2.1 was dropped about 8-12 weeks after debian 2.2 came out..debian got quite a bit of upset users from that move(including me), so they supported debian 2.2 for longer. though it would be nice to see a official statement of approx when support will be ended, i got my info from the mailing list archives. most users out there probably don't know that potato will get dropped soon. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
