There are multiple issues at work here

- updateing multiple machines automatically, possibly from one master copy. 
e.g. I have 3 desktop machines out of which I use 2 regularly and I have to 
spend sometime upgrading even if the cache is shared.

- for server install minimal is better and arch can be tweaked down to bare 
minimum necessary.

- testing for upgrades. I think something like linux containers would be handy 
here to upgrade things and test. If the multiple sync. method is available, 
then things can be easily synced. to-and-from. Kernle upgrades are the only 
exception.
