There was already a discusion about it, and sind Herbert Xu leafed us, the kernels are maintained by the Kernel-team and they consider to support the rather 2.4.24 and higher then 2.4.18 to 2.4.23. They droped the support up to 2.4.26 and Martin Schulze (I think) told me that he have time, he try to put the latest security updates into 2.4.18 but this has not happen up to today. If I count right, then there are curently 8 or 9 Security problems with 2.4.18. > Regards, > > Martijn Brinkers Greetings Michelle -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/88452356 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
