All my servers and workstations stay patched. You should do the same.

The world of servers is a bit different from the world of PCs. If you are behind a reliable firewall you patch only if your application will benefit from it. Lots of servers run only one application.

That may be true for windows boxes, but there is no reason to ignore patching a linux box. There is not the risk of breakage that exists with windows patches.
