I see I made an error in my paragraph above. I meant to say something in between Testing+Security and Stable+Backports+Security (though as has been said, you can't apply Security patches to Testing.) Huh, I did not know that this is what Ubuntu was based on. I always thought the 6-month releases were based on the dot releases of Debian. Maybe I should consider moving to Ubuntu Server? Hmm, that sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. Michael Grant
