This totally depends on what your systems are used for. If you are running services that face the web, then heck yes you better keep up to date for security reasons. I'm guessing that's not the case. If the primary use is for users to run specific tools (such as my users, who are mostly cadence & synopsys users), you better do whatever the tool manufacturer recommends. If you just sort of say to your users, "Here's a bunch of machines, go nuts!" Then it doesn't really matter too much - you might as well do updates sometimes, so people get new features. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
