asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Fedora Core 3 or Fedora Core 4? yum update o r not? also: SpanDSP -pre25 for 1.0.9 is out w00t!

Word. I'm doing a dupe of my production server this week as a CYA. Guess
what: FC2. Once I yum update to the current kernel, no more yum. There's no
reason to. You may have your own reasons (publicly avaliable server, for
example) but why add uncertainty to an, at best, quite uncertain process
(that of creating a stable Asterisk install given random hardware, network
conditions, PSTN connectivity and kernel/library revs)

Same reason I'm running 1.0.9. - when the "No audio? update your
Asterisk"
thread came out couple weeks ago, I was like: "What bug?"

On another, sorta-related topic: Thank you so much, Mr Underwood, for
backporting SpanDSP 0.0.2-pre25 to 1.0.X today - now that IS something that
I will be upgrading tomorrow. Looks like it came up a couple hours ago on
soft-switch.org Your efforts are appreciated by my users.

This is sound advice worth taking.  If you get a system stable in 
production, LEAVE IT ALONE!!

I  say this to spare you lost nights and weekends wondering how things 
could have gone soooo wrong...

Test and tweak on a duplicate system if it  needs to be done.
