Vasudevan, yes, Mir is not yet default or active -- no worries your not
running it ;-)
The second is to re-iterate what phil said. Read about partial
upgrades.. Don't upgrade when you see them. Don't feel the need to
upgrade hour or everyday even as it's just going to cause heartache if
you upgrade a partial upgrade. Personally I upgrade something like 4-6
times a week, and I do so manually, making sure I don't get any funny
upgrades when I do.
