A good administrator will update a server only if there's specific reason to do so (i.e. security or bug fixes or certain programs not in the previous release). At least in a production environment it's 'never change a running system', as stability is by far more important than features.
We only update (ie complete 100% new install) a server when we install a new one. We have one running kernel 2.0.29 still. It is stable and run specfic things that we don't want to mess with. The other one runs SuSE 6.1 and the new one coming online will have 6.3 or 6.?? when we get there. *--------------------------------* | Chris Large clarge@macn.bc.ca | | http://gone for now | *--------------------------------* -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
