Dimitri,
If you run Debian Linux, typing "apt-get dist-upgrade" will install any ne=
w system updates in a manner akin to the WinXP auto update. This can be ru=
n automagically as a cron job. And this is not limited to the operating sys=
tem - any software that comes in a Debian package (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Webm=
in, etc, etc) can also be updated with a single command automated in the cr=
on.=20

I think you'll like Debian :)
