very much out of date than the latter.<div><br></div><div>=A0That, and the =
fact the box that this list runs on is running software that is 6 years out=

 are running on Debian Squeeze which will be fully supported until 2014 ( t=
he actual date of support finish is yet to be announced). All update notifi=
cations, via a cron job, are emailed to all =A0<a href=3D"http://Lug.org.uk=
" target=3D"_blank">Lug.org.uk</a> admins and patches applied within a 24hr=
 period, the latest patches being applied yesterday. As a former Debian use=
r you should know that the Debian software uses very stable software (brill=
iant for servers) and is not the buggiest, latest and greatest version. The=
 main criteria here is the software being supported for bug and security fi=
xes. This is also true for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS distros wher=
e support is for 10 years, so long as the software works and is updated for=
 security does it matter how old the packages are? The present mailman vers=
ion is 2.1.11 which is a fully supported version and the latest update to t=
his version was made on 1/10/2011, so this in date with security fixes.</di=
