I just looked through the YDL board archives and it seems to me that YDL 4.1 and the OldWorld Macs are simply not meant to be. How reliable is freshrpms at introducing patches for the more security-sensitive components of YDL 4.0 (i.e. web and network services)? The reason I ask is that I'm contemplating a rebuild of my server to fix up some mistakes I made when I created it two years ago. I am now wondering if I should move over to Ubuntu 6.06 server since its road map calls for a long support life for security patches (the big drawback to moving to Ubuntu/Debian would be that I've got the server humming along nicely under Fedora/YDL and I'm sure there are many irritating quirks that won't be the same... plus, there's the old adage, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'). _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
