I just had a thought- I still get updates from Redhat about vulnerablilities on their system- often 2 or 3 a week. And I was wondering- how come I don't keep having updates for Debian?
I have security.debian.org in my sources.list, but apt-get upgrades rarely downloads anything. Surely more vulnerabilities exist? Am I missing something?
stable is *old*. It's missing pretty much every bug introduced anywhere in about the last two years, a luxury that any more recent distribution doesn't have.
(Of course, it's also missing most features introduced in anything during the last two years.)
If you're not running stable - well, security.d.o doesn't have updates for testing and unstable.
