[snipped list of automatic update tools]
We should always mention Gentoo. Automatic updating which is designed to
be safe to run against a production machine. The only time I've had
problems with it keeping the machine stable was updating glibc and PAM at
the same time.
In addition, it is compiling the packages for your machines with
configurable support for other programs (things like libraries, printing
via cups, KDE frontends, etc). This tends to make packages better fit for
your machine than a standard one-size-fits-all package.
(pardon my Gentoo enthusiasm)
