The article "New Linux support policies are ominous" by Jon Lasser,
Security Focus Online at
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/61/29330.html is disturbing. It
highlights new support policies from Mandrake and Redhat that is bad
for the reputation of Linux in the industry. There is also a
reference to Debian in it which underline the author's concern.
What exactly is Debian's policy regarding security support for older
versions? I know there is still support for potato, but for how long?
What are the opinions of users of this list about the issue?
Regards.
Johann
