Right now, everything is working well so I see no need to update anything. But I am concerned about security. My systems are behind a modem with the firewall enabled, and a router that also has a fire wall. Besides that, its linux. So do you update regularly or what?<br>

So if a Myth upgrade requires newer versions of packages, I upgrade those as needed, etc. Saves a lot of headache when things break because you upgraded the OS and all it's packages only to find it breaks something.</div>
