The principle problem with windows update is the sheer number of patches you need to install. Broadband is pratically a requirement for Xp users.

SuSE however, well look here:

There have been 9 updates in the last five months, 10 if you include the kernel patch I'm expecting sometime today and is already available via YaST.

What more do I need to say?
