yes. the software in etch is stable software from the upstream developers. in general, 'testing', or in this case 'etch', does not receive security patches as quickly as 'stable' or 'sarge'. if the computer isnt going to be running wide varieties of software, then the amount of software that could have security issues is minimized. etch will still get (security) updates, just not as quick as sarge. one other note. in 'testing' and 'unstable' there is more of a chance of package conflicts. but this is generally rare, and again, if this is a server with a minimal amount of packages, then the chances of package conflicts would be very rare. -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
