Some good points there Reindl. I update my box once a week now. Usually if there are any kernel issues they are made know in a reasonable time. If I don't hear of any then I know it's safe for me to move to the latest kernel release. So basically I'm playing safe by letting others find any issues, and waiting until that's been addressed with another kernel release before I move onto the latest kernel.
