Ah yes, I once cron'd apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on a debian system, woke up at 3am to a flurry of alarms.. Some upgraded package had decided that I wanted the system to act as a NAT router, requiring a 70 mile drive and a lot of hair pulling. RedHat is smart, my package installer is not my package configurator, installing updates RPM's does not randomly do bad things or "guess" what I want in my absense. -- Matthew S.
