icon in the KDE task bar which changes color when there are updates available. Click on it and you get a menu allowing you to check for updates, show the last update log or start the update process. very nice, clean and can help users keep their system safe.
I agree, this would be nice and hopefully this is something that can be done for 9.3 or 10.0.
AFAIK in contribs there is a package started with the aim of doing this: mdk-check-update-*
I haven't tested it myself so I can't say if it works...
With all due respect to you all, but I don`t like the idea one bit. It means Mandrakesoft has a line into my taskbar which I did not ask for. Just as I
I don't think that's what it means. What it means is a cron job runs urpmi.update to check if the update files on the mirror have changed and, if so, notify the user that a new update is available. This is no more revealing of your private information than running MandrakeUpdate in attended mode.

don`t like Microsoft working interactively with my computer, or other adware/spyware calling home when I still used Windows, I wouldn`t like Mandrakesoft to have a thread into any corner of my boxes. If it`s an optional package, fine I won`t use it. If it comes built in the distro I will disable it, remove it or whatever it takes to avoid it. It goes against my sense of privacy. Maybe not to that of others, very well, but I don`t like the idea.
Just my EUR 0.02.
