I've been running yum auto-update since it was introduced in Fedora Core 3 and never had any issues. I occasionally look in /var/log/yum.log to see if I need to reboot for a new kernel installation, but other than that, I've never had to do anything to my system as a result of an automatic update. -- Chris "`The enemy we fight has no respect for human life or human rights.
