Linux software updates
I’ve been posting recently about my problems with Windows and touting Linux. One of the main benefits of Linux is that updates are centrally controlled so that you get updates to the base operating system(Linux) and all the applications as well. This is in contrast to Windows which has one mechanism for keeping Windows itself up to date and applications such as web browsers and email clients are left to fend for themselves.

Once a week or so Linux automatically notifies me that updates are ready to install – like it did this morning. In this screenshot you can see updates to the very core of the OS – the kernel and a software development application – Eclipse. Press the button …. done.
