Debian has this. Assuming you're running a Debian system, man apt-get.
RedHat has this, but I think they make you register to recieve updates.
Mandrake has this; IIRC they don't make you do anything special besides run the updater.
I _think_ SuSE has this but I'm not sure.
In fact, I think that Debian had apt before most others had a similar system - At least before Microsoft had Windows Update, anyway.
