Nice line.

Regardless of when security support was dropped for older versions of the OS I will drop the references to those older versions (2.2 and 3.0) when I see fit.

Bug#385420: harden-doc: The Securing Debian Manual mentions UNsuported versions
Package: harden-doc Version: 3.8 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line *** For the sake of security there is absolutely NO reason to use unsupported Debian versions. The Security Support for Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 was terminated on June 30th 2006. The Securing Debian Manual still mentions Debian 3.0 and 2.x! Please update the relevant parts and remove the redundant ones e.g. Kernel 2.2.x and so on.
