security.debian.org *supplements* ftp.debian.org. BOTH are needed to keep your system current with security patches. On a stable system like you have, this is *all* that is necessary to keep it up-to-date: # apt-get update && apt-get upgrade Do it weekly or bi-weekly, and all will be good. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid? For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEir9NS9HxQb37XmcRAir1AKCQdSul8sjMZQWa/4qEiv6LeBD6AQCgjwQp wQBdHWleAxFB3wF+CFS8etQ= =pOab -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
