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!
