My workstation updates on a cron job every day at 6PM. I check my email in the |

morning to see if it ran into any trouble, correct whatever it complained |

Now, I wouldn't do that on a server...but I *would* orchestrate server updates |

with Gentoo, albeit it would take a significant amount of smarts in my |
| 22 |
automation efforts, and lots of integration testing and a couple manual steps. |
