in summary, if your server has a need for timely update of virus definitions and timezone data, you probably need the benefit of stable updates. If you do not have a need for those things, then the choice is essentially a matter of personal preference. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez

rdware cannot be upgrade for some reason or another. In that sense, your suggestion isn't a "real answer", but rather an answer that depends upon a reality that does not exist for everyone. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez

o the ssh command to adjust the necessary algorithms if I need something "insecure". My thought is that once that no longer serves the purpose, I would setup a VM, container, or chroot running Debian wheezy or jessie and then use the ssh command from that environment.

come to be considered a "bad word" all on its own in any context. Other words are "bad" only when used in a particular way. Then there is the idea that offensive or distasteful ideas, thoughts, and such can be expressed by euphemism and that is in a way better (in the minds of most people) than using the "bad words" directly. It sort of makes me wish I had taken up linguistics as a career. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez

m64t. It was a bitter pill to swallow for Intel that they, as the originators of the x86 architecture could have been so far off when it came to the development of the successor 64-bit architecture. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez

history. With sudo, the invoking user would be logged, which could help with troubleshooting and figuring out who to ask why some specific action was taken. Those with access could certainly circumvent it (and easily in nearly every case), but then it goes back to the guideline of not giving sudo access to anyone who not be tusted with the root password.
