Ok, I'm another RedHat refugee due to their whole Fedora nightmare. But before I switch over to SUSE I had a question. Perhaps stupid, but information I need. Does SUSE have any kind of auto-update patching software like RedHats up2date for bug/security fixes?

Yup, and what's more it can be scheduled in which case it will just do it in the middle of the night and send root emails. This only applies to security updates, you won't come in and find a whole new system. SuSE patches security flaws in the older packages so that nothing is changed (dependencies) other than the security flaws are fixed. I've found it much more reliable than uptodate, and cheaper too. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
