I know that no matter what technical question I ask there is an
answer. I know about yum plugins... but the point is that in Ubuntu
there is a really nice gui and it is really intuitive.
You see there three choices, choose which kind of updates you want and
off you go.

If you don't know about yum plugins on fedora you are stuck, and on
Ubuntu (sorry to push it all the time in your face) even if you don't
know that there is a such possibility when you open the "update config
tool" or what it is called - you see it and it becomes clear
instantly.
