It just dawned upon me that 14.0 is still running its default kernel. Does slackware not update kernels in its distros anymore, myriad of bugs fixed in 3.2 and we are still on 3.2.9 when its actually at 3.2.69 - Id hate to think of how rootable these 14.0 pc's are. ! We run custom kernels on servers (3.16) but policy on desktops are to stay only using slackware released software/updates. cant believe after all these years i've not noticed how risky we are with our kernels (maybe because my job involved servers not office - until now), every other distro updates them, but ours it seems.. thats scary!
