If I understand the concept of Linux and open source in general, being able
to upgrade is essential for proper operation. As you have discovered, it's
painful otherwise. If you don't (or can't) connect this comp to the
internet, you might be able to connect it to another comp that is connected,
even temporarily, and use it like a server with every possible security
feature active. The term "mirror" comes to mind, but I'm not sure if that is
correct.

Just a thought,
