5.2 was around about 2 years ago, so 5.1 must be about the same age. 2
years is a pretty long time - there's huge numbers of security holes in
5.1. They'll be harder to exploit given that the code needed would be
different on an M68k machine, but connecting a Red Hat 5.1 based system to
the internet in any way is not a smart thing to do.
