What is needed is a "package management" tool - yes, i 
know there's GLINT, etc. but something that works 
slightly differently...

For eg;

1. Prints up a list of all installed packages
2. Checks relevant distro website for updates
3. Allows you to click on a check-box to grab updates 
and install automagically, or grap 'n' save.
4. Can be run via a script as a cron job to regularly 
check on certain packages.

Maybe a bit of overkill (in fact, definately !!), but 
worth thinking about.
