In the past I have made a script that automatic updates Linix Mint and Ubuntu as a Cron job... The script does not work more for some reason. So I am looking to find another way to make automatic updates once again - both for myself and people I help with Linux when they are getting tired of Windows... I found this: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/765 But I am not sure about it. And another thing: It needs to be used on all computers including laptops. Do any of you know something that works for sure in 17.2 and without bothering the user - ever.. Regards John
