Do the Debian maintainers monitor security advisories and promptly release easily installed updates? Do they even have anything comparable to YOU? I always got the impression that Debian was for the extremely self-reliant Linux user. Personally, that's a fine philosophy, but I don't have time to do all that and actually use my Linux system for my own work. If that _is_ your work, then it makes sense, but if Linux is means for you rather than an end (say, you're a site administrator at an installation with many Linux users), then it makes sense to take advantage of the service provided by Novell in the form of security updates pre-built and delivered through an integrated mechanism (YOU).
