Thank you all for the recent postings, some of which I think I was able to understand a little. I am a linux nincompoop. I think I understand that the academic packs for commercial RH models are not too expensive. $50 is not a lot to pay for a server. But I wonder if it will be in fact $50 a year? I think I understand that the time between the disclosure of a security issue and the time that a kind volunteer fixes it is not fast. These CAN nos are security issues, and there are still no updates for RH9. I think I understand that at present there are issues with CVS (concurrent or current versioning systems?) and perhaps other things but as yet no one can break into a bog standard RH9 web server (assuming that there are no problems with the ftp/httpd software). I wonder how often users of FBSD are updating their servers. Tim -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
