I was looking for the same thing awhile back, couldnt find anything.
What i did was setup my own apt-get server (debian, but i guess deadrat would work to, but why? ) and cron everything to run at night, after the main server gets its updates.



List,

Looking for best free tool /open source solution for Linux operating system
patches management. There are commercial tools available like Novell
zenworks, Shavlik Technologies. But I am looking for non commercial option.

Some thing like patch distribution server which possibly push the recent OS
patches to other linux systems. Linux distribution should covering RedHat,
Suse other linux flavors.

Quick response is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Milind
