We (lug.org.uk) have a number of debian based Xen domains (Virtual Machines) which we semi-automatically update each night. They all have the package "apticron" installed which downloads the list of updates, and then emails the admins if there are any packages to install. If there are we login and "dist-upgrade". I tend to do this on the train in the morning because thats when the mails come in. It takes a few moments to do all 6 domains, plus 4 of my own. Of course I could fully automate this fairly easily, but I'd rather not.
