No, what I am saying is that running a back-level linux kernel is not a
problem. As far as updating user apps goes... that depends on the app.
My Firefox updates automatically... and aside from the slightly
annoying
message telling me the update is available its pretty painless... it has
always worked, and it has been completely automatic... wish I could say the
same thing for the Suse updater... :-(
No, the original thought was ridiculous--- running a back-level version
of
the linux kernel is not a problem... and as for that matter... running a
patched version of apps (back-level as they may be) is not a problem
either... in fact... some might argue that updating apps and kernels is how
vulnerabilities are introduced into systems in the first place.
