Many people don't update their software. They claim that it only brings grief. I'm the opposite: I take any update offered in the hope it is an improvement.
Hugh, For the last fifteen years, I have had a cron job that automatically updates my Fedora box on a regular basis. I forget when it actually runs. I have had no problems, I assume my security bugs are fixed. The machine just keeps working. Any problems I have had over the last fifteen years have been due to hardware. There are hard drive tests out there. Power supplies are my nemesis. These usually are the cause of erratic behaviour. -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
