Ah, that word "just".  A little like "simply".  When one has to
emphasize how simple something is, it sometimes isn't so simple... *


Yes, I probably get two of every Ubuntu security update e-mails
already (this list seems to get them, I think bugtraq does too).

But it seems more sure-fire to get an e-mail whenever there is an
update I haven't dealt with.  Also, I seem to be heading towards using
Xen with multiple guest OSs running.  Each will need updating, each
will have somewhat different installed packages to watch for.  It gets
complicated to keep track of when I would rather ignore such
day-to-day work.

Thanks,

starts "I don't exactly know..." s/he doesn't have a clue, and is
covering.
