Question for everyone


hi

I use Redhat linux since I started to learn Linux. I always used up2date to get my box up to date.

I want to try another distro but I'm a bit affraid to be advise of all new update etc...

Does other distro use an app like up2date or something? What you do to get your distro up 2 date?

Both Mandrake and Suse have their own software to perform updates. Both distro's update with very minimal user interaction (the gui handles most of the work) and I hear Debian has a great update system but I have no personal experience with Debian.
