That's factually incorrect. If you current state is stable, it will remain stable for eternity as long as no updates are made and you do not attempy any foolish things like system-wide installations without using your package manager (why would a stable system become unstable otherwise?) Of course if you never upgrade you miss out on being on the bleeding edge of upstream packages, don't receive security updates etc. On an typical Arch setup it's common to run daily or weekly updates with no other side affects. Over the past 3 years I only recall a single severe breakage of my system due to upgrading that required booting from a rescue USB and fixing a stupid mistake I made in my bootloader configuration. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
