As long as the updates are to stable released versions I don't consider that a problem. For the kernel I do my own updates by downloading and building and don't allow the system to update for me. For anything else if there is a new, released, non-beta version I'll probably update to it anyway. I do not do alphas, betas, release candiates, etc. On Wednesday 27 December 2006 17:04, Felix Miata wrote:

No. My understanding and the explanation I was given is that OpenSuse releases - not the betas - are much more stable than Fedora Core is.
Updating on Fedora has a different meaning than on other distros. My latest updates to Fedora 5, the release previous to the most recent, and well over 6 months old at the time I updated, got me a 2.6.18-1.2200 kernel to replace the 2.6.15-1.2054 FC5 was released with. Surely such software updating that involves more than just security updates can't be as stable. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace." Colossians 4:6 NIV
