RE: Critical/Security Updates as well as other Patch Management

["Jed Needle" <jed () vitel com>]

On Microsoft platforms there is a patch management util called SUS
"software update service?? (I think) 
Once configured, the server will automatically download relevant
patches, you then point the clients to the sus server and push updates
to clients that way.

On debian it's about running an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' having selected 
the security.debian.org packages mirror.
