"rendering their Macs no better than Linux boxes whose distributions have to be painstakingly maintained".. um what?

"apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" in a cron and I can get on with working. Hardly painstaking. Updates on OS X are more annoying, I've found, with constant restarts.

You're brave! Or you must be a Debian stable user...

Hehe.. Ok I wouldn't do this on production servers, but in about 2-3 years of doing this I haven't had a single issue :-P
