In a word - NO!

Eventually you are going to want to apply o/s patches and you don't know if they are going to break anything. If they do, you risk bringing down your production environment. At the very least keep production separate. Dev and test on one box is much less of a problem. Received on Wed Jul 20 2005 - 08:35:14 CDT
