Maybe you should try a distro that's been developed and released in the
last 5 years.
Seriously, what you describe reminds me of RedHat in the v6 and v7 days.
I use Linux every day for work and for personal use. In general, it just
works - in fact my most recent experiences with Vista have been exercises
in complete and total frustration. 5 different apps to update software
from different vendors (including 2 from Microsoft), 6 hours to install
the updates from the past year and a half, about 10 reboots during that
entire process, and it's still not updated to current.
Yeah, Vista is a dream.....if you like nightmares.
Comparatively, on my openSUSE 11.0 boxes, I drop to a console and enter:
zypper up -t package
And the system is *current*.
If I wanted to do this from a GUI, I could, but one CLI command does it
all for me - so why would I want a GUI? I can type those 20 characters
and hit enter faster than most could click through the prompts in any OS'
update application.
