Hi,
I'm going to be in hospital for about 2 months and won't be able to use my laptop during that time. Is it safe for me to upgrade TW with a 2 month gap of no updates or should I just reformat and install the newest version from scratch?
Thanks.
Simon.
I update my tumbleweed installations also with gaps of sometimes up to 6 month. (all are production systems) updates will be done if important security problems are, and/or if i find time) "normally" no problem with this. - of course you have to do the rpmconigcheck and adjust all the changes. on the other side, a fresh install may have some different standards which will not be changed if you "only" update. simoN -- www.becherer.de
