That auto upgrade thingie has quit working for me. Worked great at first, but on the last two updates it failed, and I had to download the files and do it the old way. Not a biggie, but I was wondering if they changed something...(?)

yes, they changed two things which break it on systems that don't run setuid. Plugin updating still works, but not the main wordpress because they ripped out a bunch of code and decided to save the fetched file in a directory inaccessible unless you have your FTP server set up to allow someone to skim all around the system.

Why they maintain two separate systems to perform the same function, I don't know.

Well that explains it...I mean it seems to fetch the files, but them couldn't open them to do the upgrade. Not a big deal, just seems like their updates always have unwanted "side effects"...

Short of the kernel exploit released last Friday? When was the last security bug in linux? Or are you talking about applications that run under linux?
I seen 3 kernel updates this year, and lots more updates on core applications. And weekly updates on lots of other stuff. I'm more in the the "linux is a distro" camp instead the "linux is a 'kernel" camp.
