I updated the server yesterday... the first reboot it's had since March. We're now on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. Server load has reduced, Apache performance increased.
What broke? Well, nothing. You're still on this site aren't you? Is it not still zippy?
And I'm only running Ubuntu, MySql, Bind, Postfix, Memcached, Apache, Subversion, Ruby on Rails, etc... only a few things. With the exception of X Windows I'm running way more than an average desktop, and this is 24 x 7 x 365. And it all just works.
I hate the update argument, it's such nonsense. The amount of times Windows Updates have broken my drivers. Or that Mac updates have knobbled functionality. No-one is perfect, but the Linux crowd have the widest testing base and actually fare better than others at it.
