Two reasons: bug fixes for any problems I would notice (things not working); security-related bug fixes for problems that I don't notice but that are important. The same reason that its important to subscribe to the security-announce list and/or do periodic aptitude updates when running stable to check for security fixes, and apply them if found. Applying a security fix generally involves downloading a new package. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
