Look at http://tech-geeks.org for more information on this.  Mark Drone 
(mdrone at effingham.net) is our "geek" when it comes to updating SME 
boxes.  Updating the free version is not as easy as the commercial 
version.  (That's why it's free.)  It won't be as easy as yum or 
apt-get, but it won't be overly difficult, either.
