Hi, Two interrelated questions:
Short question: when can my Etch amd64 box access the net via dialup safely? At one point recently in relation to Etch (pre RC1), there was mention somewhre (perhaps the relase notes of the time) [sorry for my spottty memory] that a testing box should not be connected directly to the internet. I can't find that anymore. Right now I'm connected via an old 486 with a failing NIC. Now that Etch is frozen, is it safe to connect directly with the modem? Long question: How is security and etch transition from testing to stable handled? The release and security pages say that the testing distribution does not get security updates. Does this mean that Etch must wait to be 'stable' before security is addressed or is it just a hand-off from the individual maintainers to the security team? This could suggest that there will be some security holes between the time it is released and when security updates are produced. I guess everyone is getting itchy for etch (etchy?).
