For the home samba server I update about once a year. My room mate |
20 |
updates the mythtv machine never. My vps instance with mail, web, etc |
21 |
does an eix-sync and glsa-check once a week and then I maybe emerge |
22 |
something once a month. I've been playing with Apache 2.2 lately which |
23 |
has been updating pretty quickly the last few weeks, but that's a bit of |
24 |
out of the ordinary. |
