Is Slack 9.1 still maintained


I have one production machine that is running 9.1. It's a list server for a very low traffic e-mail list. It's been updated with the latest 9.1 packages, which means it was last updated 10/31/2004. I'm sure there were security problems found with some of the packages since last October. Should I worry about the age of the last security fix? Should I risk upgrading this?

I don't really want to, but since this computer sits on the Internet, I feel it should be more up to date.

Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks.
