Summary
Smaller Updates - Updates in the form of patches, I think suse is doing something like this? (even great when only as a last resort for dialup users). The new Mandrake 2006 has support for delta rpms (contains the binary difference of two packages). Apparently this is how Mandrake does their online updates now.
