Hmm ... obviously Red Hat is a mirage, because their entire business
model is built on the fact that production machines *do* require
updates. Especially ones that provide services to the net, and
therefore can't be completely hidden behind a firewall.
Somebody's got to be responsible for updating the software on this
server, and being prepared to do so on short notice, and being prepared
to update any part of it from kernel on up.
