I will be doing kernel upgrades over the next week or so but not all at once as per usual.  I will be doing the virtual machines which are most exposed to the external Internet first, and holding off on the physical servers until my car returns from the shop (it ate it’s alternate, an unfortunately not infrequent occurrence for this model.

     The virtual machines I can always reboot remotely but the physical machines I need to be there in person if they lock up during a boot.
