Update/Upgrade the Pi Wheezy OS? Sept 9, 2015 18:38:23 GMT -7

Hi, I have two Pi2/DVMega units running Commander 1.12 and working fine, but it's been some time since I made the installations. I wonder if there is any problem in updating/upgrading the Rasperian Wheezy operating system. I would like to do an update, but hate to find that it's somehow affected the operation of DStar Commander.
Thanks,
Alan, K2RHK

It might cause problems...it might not. If it ain't broke, why "fix" it? In a single-purpose dedicated application like DStar Commander on a Pi, there should be no reason to want/need the latest OS updates unless you are trying to use a new piece of hardware (i.e. WiFi dongle) that needs a driver not already included in the older OS version.

Ay any rate, proceed at your own risk. If worse comes to worse, you can always reflash and reconfigure your SD card.

Regards
