Thats where I'm at. I've found Debian to be easier to upgrade. Every night at
2am, cron runs a small bash script on my Debian machine which automatically
updates it. Its only two lines long.

!/bin/sh

apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade

Put it in /usr/local/bin and run crontab.

Give it any name you want. I called mine apt-automate.
No more "chasing iso releases" for me. I've always got the latest.
