smpatch vs Sun Update Connection
What does Sun Update Connection offer that I
can't get by just using the 'smpatch' tool on Solaris?
Besides telling Sun all about my machine and its
configuration?
There are no screen shots or lists of specific concrete
features on the web site. It's all very abstract, and I
don't have time to download and install it just to figure out
what it is.

I shouldn't have said "are no screen shots etc" I should have
said "I can't find any...".
Also, I should have compared Update Connection with
"Sun Update Manager" GUI client. That's what I use
now to download and install patches.
Will the Update Connection client give me something different?
Or are these just two competing products from Sun that
do the same thing?
(By the way maybe this should be a FAQ)
