What is the difference between security patches and software distribution? For example, if a Google Chrome update shows as either a security patch or software distribution, isn't the process the same? Shavlik pushes down the latest installer and installs it?
I ask this because I have software distribution turned off. I only do security patches and non-security patches. Usually. this is fine. However, with the recent Flash Player updates, these only showed as software distribution, so I missed them because they weren't security patches.
Can you shed some light on this?
Also, will the latest Flash Player updates ever appear as security updates?
