Thanks for the info. Are exploits rare enough these days that updating once a month good enough for a well-configured machine? (If so, that's great -- I was worried about taking a vacation :))

Depends on your risk profile, but in general if you update once a month you're probably ahead of 95% of the servers out there.

I don't agree - I try to do security patches every few days, and major upgrades when I have time to test them. The hard part is keeping tabs on what servers need them. I have 7 or 8 vm's and when they're not involved in a project they're easy to forget about.
