There is a lot of stuff you'll need to update to be even a little secure. Support for everything up through 8.0 was discontinued back in December. 9.0 will be discontinued next month. Fedora is their new option forpeople that don't want to pay. The ES version is not too expensive at $349 for commercial use. If you're stuck with 7.3 because you can't download other iso files, you can order a lot of them for under $10. If you are still stuck with 7.3 I would recommend learning about building rpm's so that you can download patches for all of the programs that come with 7.3. There have been several security patches since December.
I'll try to update everything that is used on the system. Thanks, Simon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
