update-notifier is a tool to automatically check for new updates. It displays an icon in the system tray with the quantity of updateable packages. It also provides options to view a list of available packages, and multiple ways to install them. The user can also easily force an update check from the desktop at any time.
The installation process will set up the notifier to automatically start at log-in for both the Gnome and KDE desktop environments.
Now available in Synaptic Software Manager.
