Thanks Marcus. Great to see this happening. I was becoming a little bit paranoid about the whole 'package management/gnome/kde' stuff. Am I correct to say that with the zmd/rug stuff you can actually push updates to machines? So it's not only polling for updates at the repository but a way to force this from a management console/gui thingy?
