Slackware stable only gets security updates.              Depending upon how your virtual machine is used, you might choose to       somehow encapsulate an old OS installation with known security holes in a       virtual environment.              regards Henrik              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
