Well, I have a couple servers at work here. One of them is a test
server. I pretty much install everything new that comes down the pike
onto it, to see how it flies. If I'm happy with it, then I'll
generally take the time to upgrade the production servers as well.
But I can't know until I try. If it screws up, it's no big deal. And
since it's an RPM install, it only takes a couple minutes anyway, so
it's not that big of a waste of time for me.
