Re: Another bad patch?

["Tomas L. Byrnes" <tomb () byrneit net>]

One of the great things about having your "Legacy Apps" in an XP VM
(under Centos x64, and accessed via RDC), is you have a very simple
solution to this.

1: Always snapshot before patching.

2: Apply patch.

3: Test

4: If fail revert to snapshot!

Loving VMWare since 2000.
