g0rath, I think the poster is looking for a way to gather and distribute MS Patches using a Linux machine... not looking to keep a Linux machine patched.

I'm interested in the same thing, so I'm listening too...
yes mburdick is correct, i was making a script that AT could run automatically at night, but i got stuck on how to verify if the computer has already installed the patch or not... (and many other problems.. jeje)
