pain to update?

pclinuxos you hit update and 10 minutes later from a fresh install it's done.

the wife's XP got a fresh install and days later it finally caught up and had everything updated.

piss poor arguement again tarnished buzzard.

one distro with a slow package does not mean linux is a pain to update

You gotta understand--He knows nothing about Linux, doesn't use it, and has an irrational hatred of it. He just throws things out here and hopes something will stick.

Definitely a pain to update if you don't have some sort of depedency checker, and not all of them do. This Red Hat box I saw hadn't been updated in a couple of months (offline), but it did take about six hours to get everything and install. That's ridiculous for 2 months worth of patches.

Fresh install of RHEL2.1 takes exactly one reboot to bring completely up2date... how many does 2000 server take?
