I concur -- cron-apt has been a great help in keeping our sarge systems up-to-date. One thing I've been wanting personally, though, is a system more suitable for testing and unstable -- something that would apply any updates it could without requiring interaction from the user, but that could present debconf questions in an asynchronous manner, perhaps through a web application. I suppose I might just have to come up with something myself, when I can find the time :) cmr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
