  1. In the early 2000's, keeping my kids Windows systems patched against the latest vulnerabilities was a constant manual effort. They left home before MS started automatically updating the OS and by that time I was using Linux exclusively. A few years ago, I found the Debian 'unattended-upgrades' package and set that up. It's great. It keeps me patched against security vulnerabilities while still letting me control when I upgrade to the latest "Feature updates" or even the latest OS version. I have it running on every Debian or derivative box I have. I just check from time to time what else is available to upgrade and when I feel they've got to critical mass or there's something I think would be a benefit, I upgrade it.
