Security updates for old Red Hat releasesSecurity updates for old Red Hat releasesPosted Nov 20, 2003 15:09 UTC (Thu) by smoogen (subscriber, #97)In reply to: Security updates for old Red Hat releases by simlo Parent article: Security updates for old Red Hat releases Debian offers security releases for their releases usually only 6-8 months after the next stable release is done. However since stable releases are a slow process (no matter how many times the leaders want to move it to a once a year) you are pretty good. The one thing to know is that this is all done by volunteers, and if they feel too put upon to release things (too many complaints, not enough help, too much virtual beer and not enough real beer) they have left or changed the release times to better fit their needs. I dont mean this to be a negative on Debian.. I mean it more that freeloaders (people who dont help (either on forums, documentation, patches, testing, etc) and only take) are probably the one thing that hurts it the most..
