   Can you clarify this more?

   Is 5 patches per week what you consider the acceptable patch release =
frequency for 1 CD side (~700MB) of install, 1 DVD side (~4.7GB) of =
install, or something else?

   Is this frequency specific to linux and the quality of its releases =
or does it apply to other operating systems (e.g. OS X, Windows)?  How =
about non-OS software releases?

  Oh indeed but see my point wrt what you have installed. Modern distros
  come with enormous amounts on the cd'es/DVD & possibly even more in
  online repos.

  If you install 10K apps then yup you may well see 5 patches per week. =
If
  not...then that number drops.
