Especially for a computer that's running audio applications, not providing services to the internet and not being logged into by 500 users distributed all over the office or campus... Subscribe to the Debian security mailing list for the gory and tedious details. I'm on Debian behind the firewalling provided by a cheap ADSL router. I even allow myself to log in via ssh from work. I'm not worried. There is a school of thought that says an audio machine shouldn't be connected to a network at all (minimize services for best latency and CPU availability for audio, is the logic) -- Anahata anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -+- http://www.treewind.co.uk Home: 01638 720444 Mob: 07976 263827
