And for those concerned about the lack of patch management for GNU/Linux
systems (from one of the responses):

http://www.shavlik.com/hfn_linux.aspx
http://www.opsware.com/products/serverautomation/patchmgmt/
http://www.novell.com/products/zenworks/

and even a free one!

Iraqi Army was slaughtering the Americans right up 'til the Americans rolled
through Bagdad.
