Slackware Update tips
by linuxsl from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J4S0)
Hey guys! I have a question and I hope you slacker can answer me and tell me about your experience!Basically, I have 4 machines in my (homelab) running Slackware and 3 VPS running Debian.
I have been manually updating all 7 of these computers manually for over 5 years, as I like to see what is being updated. Nowadays it's complicated for me, as I have 2 small children and my time is very short!
I'm thinking about automating the update with a shell script, wrapped in a for loop.
Or even (Ansible). My experience with Ansible is minimal. What do you think? Do you suggest anything to me?
If you suggest shell scripting to me, what features could it have?
