Security Updates only?

(1/1)

Swaphead:
Hello all,

I have set up Synaptic to accept only Security patches - i.e. I have unticked the "recommended updates" option.
(The reason for this is that when VLC got an update I had to re-apply I fix I'd already made and this
is a P.I.A to keep doing. Also I plan to give this ancient Dell Machine away to someone who little-or-no
PC skills)

My question is - is this likely to create any problems further down the line?

biffster:
Nope ...should be fine. I only use security updates for all my machines.

It only becomes a problem when you get way behind, but the only compelling reason to upgrade an app is if it fixes a bug or gives you a function you want. Security is the most important.

tks..biff
