You should point out to your client that 2.6.18-164 is a 5.4 kernel
and has been unsupported since the release of 5.5 in early *2010*.
They have all the security vulnerabilities from that point onwards
plus all of the bugs that have been fixed since. They really really
need to update. Would they run a copy of Windows XP that hadn't been
patched since 2009??<br>
