Default Shared Server Kernel Upgrades

We will be upgrading the kernels on all of the shared servers later this evening. The upgrades will probably start around 11PM CST.

There will be about 5 minutes of downtime on each server, however if a server has problems, it could take longer.

Generally a kernel upgrade is more for security.

Ah ... like a windows security service pack.

Computers run faster as less processes run without crashing?
