The only time I had remote updates not work, is when either :
a)Someone leaves a floppy in the machine and it tries to boot of it when I reboot.... b)Someone leaves the keyboard disconnected or something resting on the keyboard.
I've had very few genuine issues where a machine dies after a solid yumming session...
I've had a few instances where:
The update buggered grub.conf or lilo.conf leaving the machine staring at its navel during the next reboot.
The update woke up kudzu (which I normally remove/deactivate) and the system wakes up expecting some keyboard input to tell it what to do with all the new wonderful devices it just found.
But the vast majority of the time, it simply works like it's supposed to. 8-)
