Linux by itself provides so much protection from exploits and malware that you probably CAN run old systems with naive users. One sysadmin can keep a whole herd of sheep fairly well guarded.
Maybe. Probably.
But if I'm the person in charge of a bunch of computers in a organization, like a city, and something does happen, that somebody can blame on the software not being updated, it is my arse which would be burnt.
If you're in charge, it's up to you to a) chose how to do your job and b) take responsibility when things go wrong. How you chose to secure your organisation is not really relevant, with or without updates. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
