Hi Daniel,
No Linux system has ever *sent* me an update. The different packages are 
updated constantly in the repositories, but they are never necessary and 
never forced. I update a program when there is something I need or want 
and I look at system update stuff once or twice a year, only updating 
what I want.

NOTE: I, too started with Mac, in 1990, a time when Apple tried very 
hard to be compatible with everybody and everything. I see that same 
attitude in the Linux community today.
