One of the wonderful things about LINUX is that it's stable as the pyramids. The downside is that it uses Open Source, allowing anyone to mess with the OS code.

Automatically installing software "updates" that have not gone through at least SOMEtesting within your enterprise or by trusted partners can give you Open Sores.

Why no try it on one machine before rolling out it out to your enterprise?

Gee, tough call.

I have used Red carpet it is nice to know at a glance what updates are avilable. I agree there are several that I did not apply. But it is nice to know what has been updated and to check if it was a bugfix or a security update.

BK the MCSD: "The

code. "

Did MCSD taught you that whoever mess up the source get updated to the system automagically?

I doubt you know how the OS "messing up" works, MCSD.

Guess M$ has probably brain-washed you guys that Open Source = Open Sores.

You need to learn one thing b4 going into these advance topics: 1 + 1 = 2.

Have you noticed that the "security" updates can take up to 30 days to make it into the "windows update". The patches are available way before the "autoupdate" bs can even find the patch. This atleast finds the current version.
