Hi,
Automatic updates are very important for any computer connected to the
internet. But most of the Windows machines disable it due to the "Windows
Genuine Advantage" problem. Further, with Linux you will need to install
software from the on-line repository which will also consume your download
limit. I strongly suggest you to go for an unlimited connection. You can also
try other ISP like You telecom, Tikona, etc,. for cheaper unlimited
connections. But, if you still want to disable automatic updates, you can do it
with the help of Synaptic Package Manager, in Ubuntu.
P.S: MP3, DVD codecs and Flash plugins will also have to be downloaded from the
Internet
