Actually its not "ubuntu" that does the checking but that little gui-tool.
Which can be un-installed with less then five clicks if needed.
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
