The reason I got rid of it and installed debian was because it was too much hassle trying to keep packages up to date (security-wise). I came up with the idea of making a script that will keep the versions of currently installed software in a file (or a database or whatever) and ftp into the appropriate servers and compare the version numbers as a chron job. I abandoned that as being a nasty hack of the highest degree. Can anyone suggest another solution?
Yep: Gentoo.
Cheers, Laurie.
