Thence, two questions arise.

1. Due to the effluxion of time, are they still running Debian, or, have 
they changed the OS?

2. Also, due to the effluxion of time, have they upgraded the OS (if 
they are still running Debian, have they upgraded to the latest stable 
version; similarly, if they had changed the OS, have they upgraded to 
the latest stable version of whatever they are running)?

It still may be worth composing the email, and, sending it, putting 
those two questions...
