Actually its not "ubuntu" that does the checking but that little gui-tool. Which can be un-installed with less then five clicks if needed. Real automatic updates have to be activated by hand in ubuntu. Probably only by console-work. Don't know if that is also possible in gui because I only use the console tools... Apart from that I think ubuntu's release mode is much more suited for staying stable then gentoo's/arch's as it allows to run "only security fixes"/"only minor updates" for 18 months with the regular releases and for five whole years with the LTS-releases. Last time I tried something like that with gentoo, I switched to ubuntu after a day of failures... Have fun, Arnold
