While you could probably patch every hole yourself with source builds or

not using Fedora if you can't or don't want to keep up with the upgrade
cycle, and fortunately there are distributions designed for that
situation. RHEL5 would be very similar if you want a version with paid
support or CentOS5 if you don't. Either will have several more years of
continuing update support. They aren't even such a bad choice for
desktop use now that the updates have brought OpenOffice and Firefox up
to near-current releases (an unusual move - most updates are just
backported bug/security fixes).
Well all but one of the boxes under my control is more up to date but that
one is a laptop physically a long way from me and it will be a while before
I get a chance to have a day away to do the upgrade - I was just looking for
an interim measure....
See the --random feature of iptables. You can randomize the port with
SNAT. Reduces the exposure by quite a bit.
