Re: More live years with SLES?

JT painted this mural:

As you state yourself: security updates are a good reason to upgrade. I
can't imagine anyone saying: "Heck, I don't need _those_"

<FX: waves>

I have, but only for that one machine. To access it you need to have
physical access to it, despite it being connected to my network, ssh is
disabled and the only way log in is through the keyboard. Also, with it
sat less than 1m from me, and in plain view, I think I might just
notice if someone was trying to physically log in.

That's not to say that it's only ever accessed through the keyboard as
I occasionally enable ssh, log in from my main system and do whatever
I'm wanting to do over ssh, and then disable ssh again. This is pretty
rare and is usually to check something for historical purposes, where
I want to cut and paste something to a mail or news post. Other than
that, it's left well alone.
