The big hitters don't work with Windows much either - The big iron like
HP, IBM and high end Sun each have their own software.

Both Tivoli and Novell work with Linux - and they are the most likely to
be seen on Windows too.

There isn't really a bundled package for either windows or any linux
distro. Both require you to go and buy something in.

Redhat and others also allow you to have local Update mirrors, and
automatic updates with things like Redcarpet, RHN, etc.

You can also mount some things over NFS so that applications and other
stuff can be updated somewhere central.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

A.
