Is anyone actually using Ubuntu 6.06LTS anymore?  That was published for
Q1 2008, that was almost three years ago which in "internet years" is a
long time.

One also has to wonder (since the link to the original paper seems to be
dead) if that was "out of the box" 6.06LTS or 6.06LTS kept updated with
the security releases.
