Is it adviseable to run YUM and let the system update itself. I would tend
to think that any dependencies on files being updated may cause issue with
the software that has created the depedencies. As I am much more
experienced in the windows realm of netork administration, I would NEVER
let my servers update themselves automatically. There has been too many
times where a patch from MS fubared a major application or caused other
issues. I am guessing that the same issue exists with Linux (or with any OS
for that matter) but to a lesser degree as in my ventures into the world of
Linux has revealed it to be a much more robust, stable, efficenent and
secure system.
