   Good ${greeting_time}, Brad!

   What prevents just recompiling these programs? On better systems, that may be   
   done with a single run of rpmbuild. On really good systems, the packages are   
   rebuilt in a clean fresh-installed environment from a git tag to the binary   
   archive (.rpm) with one single command.

   There's only one real browser, and it could be rebuilt that way. Also, it's   
   possible to keep several versions of OpenSSL (libcrypto+libssl) in one system   
   simultaneously (0.9, 1.0, 1.1.0 and 1.1.1).   
      
    BH> Or way to get a Binary of one.   
      
   Build it. However, deb-based systems are very unfriendly in that.

   You may compile anything.

   No: browsers are linked against libcrypto+libssl.   
      
    BH> Has anyone had problems with SSL on older systems??   
      
   With regularly updated OpenSSL - never.   
      
   Now I'm writing this message from a system installed ca. 2006 and only updated   
   since that date.

   Deleting inactive users is normal.

   OpenSSL 1.1.0 was released in 2016 (5 years ago). OpenSSL 1.1.1 (actual) was   
   released in 2018 (3 years ago).   
      
   You had a plenty of time to update your system.

   No: that was you who killed your pretty system.
