I upgrade 40 webservers regularly. When we change the kernel that includes apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.17 (we cook our own not use the standards but if you assume they are OK no difference) and apart from the fact I'm not brave enough to do all 40 in parallel I do it without qualms. Never had it fail except when someone forgot to include the module the network card used... The only thing apt-get doesn't do for you is reboot the box. So you do that as soon as it has finished the install. Jeff
