Yah... don't use your machine on the public internet, don't use
unnecessary services, you'll be fine.
Provided you also don't browse the web, read emails, or accept
documents from others, then maybe you don't need security updates.
I still have a few FC3 servers behind multiple layers of firewalls
but in general I wouldn't recommend living without security updates.
However the thread topic is whether we can hope to see KDE 3.5 in F10.
