What about a cluster of 50+ webservers? I think part of this discussion needs to define what is applicable and what isn't. As has been previously stated there are cases when auto-update doesn't apply, i.e. complex database servers, etc. However for every case that can be made against auto-update, there is an alternate case for auto-update. Think of an enterprise with 1500 desktop PCs all around the world. Who is going to visit all locations to update? What about webserver farms? How about distributed internal DNS/NIS servers where the loss of one system isn't critical? etc, etc. People need to understand that every environment is unique and what doesn't work in one instance may very well work very well in another. -Jim P. -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
