when potato was released security updates for slink were discontinued two monthes later. since potato is going to be even more fosselized then slink was by the time woody is released i would expect a similar timeframe (that and potato only has 6(?) architectures woody will have something like 12 or more). expect to have two months to upgrade your potato boxes before being on your own in regards to security updates. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
