A problem that I see with running Debian 5 (I think that I am still
running it on our firewall/gateway machine, but that is because the
firewall software, which appears to still work, is now obsolete), is
that I understand that no updates, security or otherwise, are being
provided for Debian 5, which would make Debian 5 a vulnerability (I
think). I could be wrong in that.
Off topic: Did you refer to FireStarter[1] Firewall?
[1]: http://fs-security.com/
Yes.
It was about a uear ago, that, in response to a query that I posted on
the Firestarter list, someone on the list, advised that Firestarter had
been abandoned by its developers and was no longer being maintained.
But I think that (whilst I am still doing it, which is wrong) people
should not still be running Debian 5, as I believe that it is no longer
supported by security and otherwise updates.
But, as I said (I think), previously, I could be wrong in that belief.
And, as I previously said. the person to whom I was referring, was
running Debian 5, so he could keep running GNOME 2.x, but, Debian 6.x,
that I am running on this workstation, is also running GNOME 2.x, so the
person should (unless some other reason exists) now be running Debian
6.x .
