Hmm .. one of my firewall's here still is the same oldish thing, like it
was 9 years ago (beyond security patches). Slackware 3.3ish (can't
really remember if it was 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3), still running 2.0'ish ..
(2.0.39) i think .. and i don't see any meaning in upgrading, if it just
does what it has done allways.
