Actually its not "ubuntu" that does the checking but that little gui-tool.

Real automatic updates have to be activated by hand in ubuntu. Probably only
by console-work. Don't know if that is also possible in gui because I only use
the console tools...
Apart from that I think ubuntu's release mode is much more suited for staying
stable then gentoo's/arch's as it allows to run "only security
fixes"/"only
minor updates" for 18 months with the regular releases and for five whole years
with the LTS-releases.
Last time I tried something like that with gentoo, I switched to ubuntu after
a day of failures...
Have fun,
Arnold

Not so automatic, it let's the user know that there are updates on line
to download and install.
It is up to de user update or not. Ubuntu default to this.
Yah, you're right.
I need to amend my phrasing. Ubuntu is the only Linux
distro I've met that by default automatically checks and asks you to
download/install updates.
Not being a fan of Ubuntu, I've not looked into disabling that annoyance.
