So you would rather they didn't patch these bugs just to preserve your uptime ?
Not at all no.....
I was simply trying to compare the release schedule to that of other distros, and that of previous releases of SuSE
Obviously this is a good thing, even for those who have limited download bandwidth as at least they can evaluate the patched vulnerabilities and make a judgement as to if it's worth their effort downloading them.
It's the availability of features like this that mean we can keep the corporate IT police off our backs because there IS a way to easily keep up to date with security fixes.
True, but it would be even better if there was a deployment pack for a local update server as there is with Microsoft. I understand it can be done with SuSE but I have yet to see simple and concise instructions on how to achieve such a thing.
