I have an older version of Virtuous ROM installed, 2.2 I think.

I have never updated to a newer version of Virtuous

can someone tell me the easiest way to deal with this update?

I would rather not install or anything, basically I like the way things are now and don't want to change anything
 
I updated to 3.1.0 tonight and was able to install the rosie mod with handcent, rotary lock and color icons for the notification bar. I think I'll keep it for a few days and try it with all the mods to see how the battery life is.

have you tried running the custom kernel? i'm still using the stock virtuous kernel but I'm considering giving the custom kernel a shot to improve battery life.

I'm using it with the stock kernel that it downloaded with. My battery life has been superb today. Granted, today has been a pretty light day of usage, but here's what it looked like a little more than 5 hours into my day and then almost 14 hours into my day.

I am running 3.1 and have the same experience with battery life. When the phone is shut down it virtually uses no battery juice. Upon usage, I see the battery wearing down a little faster than I would like, however, it seems the powersaving's I get from the newest kernal trump the stock kernal that drains your power much quicker in standby mode.
