I don't want to start a Linux distro flame, but you *can* do that with
other distributions as well. There might be other reasons to run GNU/Debian
(and IMO there are; my firewall/gateway is actually a GNU/Debian box), but
online updates isn't one. RedHat 6.1 introduced their (somewhat buggy, I
have to admit) "Update Agent" and SuSE has a similar feature. If nothing
else, you could simply rsync against any of the major file archives and
have a crontab that keeps your system updated.
The TrinityOS document (referenced in my previous post) has a few nice
suggestions about automatic updates.
