I used to think that way. Starting daily updates, and knowing hoy to
reverse an update, gave me the kickstart to try daily updating. Now
thats a stable procedure here.
Whats the criteria for a monthly update? Now you are taking the risk of
having (worst-case) 29-days/ 1-day(best case) security holes, why not
update every 2, 6, 12 months? 29 or 1 day, say average 14, its enough
time to infect your servers (do not forget this thread's subject:
somebody asked how to protect himself against linux vulnerabilities).
