</div>If the machine isn't exposed anywhere (e.g. exposed to the internet)<br>

If it is exposed, then you'll definitely want those security updates.<br>
Just make sure you have up-to-date backups and a viable disaster<br>
recovery plan.<br>

Only Music, Videos and Pictures. All backed up, so the only worst case scenario will be the "system" - not the data. . Every 6-8 months I feel the itch to "do something". Not natively a Linux guy, I love the fact that there are tons of options - and even though I may not need one, I enjoy doing it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Ironically though, not being a core Linux guy, I am not able to always troubleshoot my way out of the screw-ups so while I love doing something new, I worry about losing my system especially when I feel I don't really have an absolute need for it. That's why I was wondering if Myth has any significant updates - I am desperately waiting for the H265 that may be coming with the myth version of ffmpeg.</div>
