Of course, there may be some danger of intrusion, as always, but
- internet browsers and mail clients are regularly updated, luckily
Mozilla offers RPM packages, flash-plugin are actualizad too.
- some other SW (OpenOffice and so forth) is downloadabe in actual
versions and as RPM packages too.
- as I wrote before, I packaged some RPMs itself
- some RPMs from RHEL/Centos 6 are Fedora14-well-compatible
- DoS attack I outlive, compromitation at user level too (unusual
traffic is blocked and monitored at firewall], thus only real danger
is gaining full controll over the box - but some regular tests and
precautions are done.

thus I'm sleeping smoothly.
(as now, 2:39 AM my time ;)
