Thank you for your varied opinions to come,

(with the apt-get -y update of course) on a daily or weekly basis have any fault points? I'm asking since I'd like to ensure that upgrading of a server's packages is safe and secure without the need to SSH into the machine just for updates.

I use apt-get -dy upgrade

This way it just downloads the upgraded packages automatically, and once I get around to connecting to the box I can then select which ones to upgrade one at a time and then finish the job off.
