Once aspect I particularly like about Mepis is the default use of the
apt-notify applet on the task bar, which reminds you at every login of
any updates that are waiting to be made. I know Fedora has something
similar too...

Yeah. Firefox, as shipped with Fedora, has its update check disabled -
but Fedora updates it as needed.


Many distros are like that. I prefer to install FF versions directly
from Mozilla as that way I get the patches on day 1. Zero day attacks
are too common now that I'd rather not wait.
