Thanks for insisting on that too! I don't have, by any means, a
"critical" machine - it's just a play web site and mailing list - 
but I do like to have them up, so perhaps I'll stay away for now.

All valid concerns. But I don't use ssh (have it turned off) and 
I have kept Apache patched. I do run some updates, just haven't
jumped whole hog into the water.

You know, I will probably do that, to the recent 4.7, now that I
think about it a little more.
