I probably *should* be doing that, but I haven't. I'm just living on the edge and hoping nothing happens. I assume a fix will be coming down the pipeline too for my distro (debian) soon

I'm just a compulsive updated, first thing i do in the morning is :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

and a sudo shutdown -r now

if required.

Is there a cure ?

Sure, script it and throw it in a cron. You only really need to reboot if the kernel is updated, or glibc. (and there are ways around having to reboot if you update glibc).

I do a yum update to most of my clients machines every night via cron (as almost all are on CentOS). Any errors in the update are e-mailed to me.

Still what to do it myself, hate to makeup to a machine locked in a loop because the update did something messy.

But less important machine I agree it's automatic.

I do take backup, but I would say after all theses years I rarely get any surprises.

My problem is that when I am on my laptop (like now), which runs linux, I
don't want to have to deal with the update and the bandwidth it takes up. It wouldn't work on cron either, as I shut it to sleep when I'm not using it. Unfortunately the majority of my day I am forced to use a windows 10 laptop (work laptop). Night time is when I get to thrive with my linux desktop,
laptop and server.

apt and yum probably won't cause anything horrific to happen, unless you're running bleeding-edge custom repositories.

But less important machine I agree it's automatic.

I have a cron scheduled daily on some of the most important machines in the company I work for. Granted everything is CentOS 6 and stable as hell.

If a certain food is more yum than others, I'm more apt to eat it.

Sorry about the off topic (Linux Discussion).

Your correct I had it set to local because it was QWK and not FTN style, I
was under an impression that the transfer would be affected. I have changed
all my DOVE-Net areas to Echomail.

Hopefully it will tag them now.
