Agreed. That's why, unless you have a lot of time and experience, it's much more secure to run a major distribution that has been reviewed by many people rather than trying to make all of these decisions yourself. If you should ever find a security problem with Debian, please be sure to let us know via a channel appropriate to the level of the problem. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
