Description Lukas Ocilka 2006-02-23 09:18:52 UTC 
Ralf Flaxa asked for some pieces of information to get officially known
The simplest way would be to add them into the release notes:
- zen-upadter replaces SuSEWatcher applet for both KDE and GNOME
- automatic update (yast2 online_update in cron) is replaced with 'rug'
- and maybe also: new tool web-updater

thanks

Karl, please add this.
Comment 2 Karl Eichwalder 2006-02-23 10:29:26 UTC 
there is already bug 147524 ; I'm going to enhance it as follows:

  <!-- bug 147524 and 153037 -->
  <sect3 id="rn101.update">
   <title>Updating Software Packages Using Catalogs</title>

   <para>
To apply security updates and install additional software packages, use the Web
Updater from within the &yast; Control Center.  An alternative for updating
software is the ZENworks updater applet for KDE and GNOME which replaces the
SUSEwatcher. The ZENworks updater helps monitor available patches.</para>

   <para>For automatic updating use <command>rug</command> which replaces the
&yast; Online Update (YOU) in cron tables.
</para>

   <para>For more information about these features, see the &suselinux; Start-Up
Manual.</para>
  </sect3>

I propose:

     Online Update from within the &yast; Control Center.  An alternative for

Please mention ZENworks updater first and mark the "Online Update" as alternative.

I'll submit the following text:
