Do note that 'latest stuff' backports are only security patches, max. You won't find extra features (suppose a new release of something has additional features etc - those wont go into deb stable, they'll get moved into unstable and later into testing). So while apache 1.3.9 and exim 3.12 will have all the security fixes from 1.3.22 backported, they won't have the additional features that got built into the newer versions. For that you'd have to get and run the deb package from the unstable or testing trees. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #155 -**< Sub : Line numbering your programs (#5) >**- Want a listing of your program with line numbers ? vi clones on Linux can do it directly !!!
