Allright, that's a reason when the computer is 24h a day connected with Internet but I also want to use RH Linux on a laptop i486 with 12MB of ram and it will never be connected directly to Internet. So security holes won't be the main reasen for NOT deciding a version. > > I believe your best bet at this stage is to replace the hardware with > something manufactured in the last 5 years.
