 Is anyone experienced with unattended updates with any linux distros?  I
have a client who has 20 or so boxes with very minimal requirements.
Basically they just need to run & keep themselves updated with minimal
interaction.  Security is the primary reason for wanting to do the updates
as the local networks also host other systems that are somewhat varied.
There won?t be any externally-accessible services running and unless there
are problems no one will ever interact with the boxes.  They don?t even have
keyboards, mice or monitors.



Any recommendations for a linux distro that can auto-update with minimal
problems?
