well... and then? I don't want to be too long, nor hijack a thread. but have real threat be signaled against kde3 (links, please)? I mean, it's the same as using any distro: there are major bugs that have to be fixed for security (ssh bug, firefox ones...), and usual bugs that may give data loss but we can live with. for me security is the risk of opening my computer to bad people. is there a known list of major such security break in kde3? (it's a real question, I hope you can say yes and give me the link) I say so, because I every day experiment situations where security is more an obsessive compulsion than a real threat. This is not a bad thing when dealing with new products, but don't have to go too far. I "manage" a server driven by a debian 3.0 not updated since ages and never compromised - I simply can't update it (hardware too old) and work on openSUSE when I should take time building a replacement server. It runs since year 2000 and I wonder why it's still up and running :-). I don't advertise anybody to do the same, only that the risk may not be always as big as one think jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
