[CentOS] Centos and automatic update on server

[David Nelson]

Personally I enable yum-cron on relatively simple configs without much that could break, for example a LAMP server. Especially when they are public-facing and thus have greater exposure to security threats. 

But I don't as often on things that are internal-only and/or have a more complex setup such as running software I had to compile from source.
