This brings the question, how do you do your update?

I know I'm not he average user but I update via yum and one thing I
always watch out for are kernel update, mostly because it means I'll
have to reboot my machine sometime after that.
So when I reboot and something does not come up, I will likely pretty
quickly reboot on an older kernel to see if that's what has changed (I
must confess, this is a guess since I don't remember when is the last
time something broke on one of my machine with a kernel update).
