If you're connecting to the internet, you *MUST* keep your system up to date, to maintain security. Yes even linux systems have some security problems. A lot fewer than Windows, but it does happen. Problems with the actual kernel are only a small part of the problem. Flash, Adobe PDF, Java, etc, have had a few problems which can occur on all platforms they run on. What's so time-consuming about once-a-week... * emerge --sync * emerge --ask --deep --update --world The update world can be started just before going to bed <G>. Update kernel once every couple of months or when a GLSA requires it. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 Q. Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of Microsoft security? A. I think it would be a good idea. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
