A number of years ago (circa 2000) I experienced problems with updating to a new version of Linux. This was on SuSe and Redhat. You can never be sure what is broken but you can always be sure something is broken. I always do a clean install now. I haven't tried it on any current version and don't intend to. There is always someone complaining about the version update killing some function and a clean install magically fixing it. Then you have Windows helpfully updating your software even when you thought you had all the (DO NOT UPDATE) boxes ticked. The QNX and OpenCNC install ran from 1997 thru 2017 and was shut down because the machine was sold. It was never updated and not on the internet. The only problem I remember was chips accumulated between the pendant face and the CRT touchscreen. This caused some strange actions/reactions. A cleaning and silicon seal fixed that. Jon's comment about not updating a running machine is right on the button. Regards Stuart
