[K12OSN] Let sleeping dogs lie

[Rob Owens]

I've been doing automatic updates since I've been
using Linux, which is about 4 years.  I had frequent
problems with Mandrake 10.0 and 10.1, but zero
problems with Ubuntu 5.04, 5.10, 6.06 or with CentOS
4.  I haven't used Fedora regularly enough to comment
on it.
