Well, Joey means that he (and the rest of the security team) will support potato to the best of his ability. The problem is, it was released 2 and a half years ago, and so much of the software in it is really hard to support still. Microsoft recently made the news for claiming that WinNT 4.0 wouldn't get a fix for some new vulnerability because it was too old and would simply have required too much work to fix. Potato is very much in the same place as NT 4.0. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
