Hello my old friends at Sparky,
I'm curious whether or not SparkyLinux will notify me of automatic updates in the same way that the Ubuntu-based distributions do. I'm so habituated to updating, upgrading, and dist-upgrading manually, that I've never really known the answer to this question. I'm particularly interested in immediate security updates. Does SparkyLinux notify its uses of necessary updates? I ask this because I can't seem to find an update manager that can offer me a way to have updates delivered. (I know upgrades are a different subject altogether.)
By the way, Sparky's 64-bit Xfce is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for all the work you put into making Xfce look so nice and work so well. A hint: Those flat icons and the Xfce-Stellar style are a good-looking combination.
Thank you so much,
perknh
P.S.
I woke up this morning and remembered that I had read something about this subject from Debian's FAQ quite some time ago.
Here are some answers to this question. ;)
