It depends. Desktops/laptops with every release. As was stated, these aren't really an issue anyway. Servers - not as frequently. But then for servers I use SLES. Even so, I don't find that I need to adjust configs for the rest of the week. I suppose if you count testing time into the 'time to upgrade' then my upgrades might take a while.

I also see from another thread that you recompile your kernels which presumably adds to your upgrade/tweaking/fixing time as well... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
