people who normally like open source don't like automatic updates Really? Where does that come from? Because one of the things I love most about running Ubuntu is that everything just stays up to date on its own. I'm always very wary of installing something myself and will nearly always take the apt-get route unless I really need that very latest feature. Whenever I evangelize running linux, (which is very rarely) this is one of my big selling points. When people see the update manager pop up, update a bunch of programs while I'm doing other stuff and not even ask me to reboot they're often convinced to give it a try.
