Re: OS Upgrades and Other Patches
My previous employer used the "never touch a running system" approach to their customers' machines.
They were still distributing new servers and VMs with a 2000 vintage version of SLES on it! Why? Because they didn't want to bother having to update their applications to run on more modern Kernels or system libraries. Security? Pah, it's Linux!
They only switched to a new distro (CentOS), when the hardware would no longer boot the ancient SLES / they couldn't get any RAID controllers with drivers that worked on the ancient SLES.
