8.4. Operating System Updates
You will want to update your Linux operating system at different times:
Before Upgrading the LOCKSS System.
Before Installing the LOCKSS System for the first time.
When security-related updates are released for the Linux kernel (which requires rebooting the machine) or other installed software packages.
Your system may be set up for automatic updates or your system administrator may have policies for which packages can be udpated and when.
