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.

i dumped fedora for that reason. but you didn't say red hat was a pain to update, you said linux is a pain to update.

you should try PClinuxOS aka pclos. maybe you will not be filled with such anger.

^^^^^^^^^^That's ridiculous for 2 months worth of patches.^^^^^^^^

You shouldn't be so quick to admit to everybody here that you simply cannot read.

Up2date updates everything, not just OS. You saw something called G.... I.... M..... P..... in that u2d list? Yes, that's not the Linux OS you know. I'm just saying.

Something else....... u2d when doing a system wide update like that will go considerably faster on something like FIOS. But I wouldn't expect you to inject that little fact into your post either.

Reading your posts is normally a similar exercise to reading an article from one of the various liberal media outlets.
