   True, somehow. What I've been asking myself is how many Amigas with old    
   ixemul   
   stuff running (like Apache) are threatened by all these security bugs as that   
   software will never get updated, and quite some will continue to run, like   
   we have the problem with lots of legacy unix systems.   
      
   I vividly remember I was on Amiga Apache 1.3.12 or .14 running until the end    
   of   
   last year. Now I'm running on a rather current 2.0.40 with backported    
   security   
   patches. At least with the newer Amigas, we should be able to use Linux   
   versions of popular software (except YAM....it's a bit annoying as I didn't   
   dislike this software).
