Hi, I posted this as a bug - if I should post this somewhere else
please tell me where.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240110

I find Fedora 6/7 update system not so user friendly as other linux
desktops I tested. Ubuntu and OpenSuse ask during the first update if
you would like to add the current user to privileged user list. All
users on this list don't need to type root password every time they do
an update.

One thing I found really exceptional was Ubuntu's granual update. You
can choose what types of updates you wan't the system to inform you of
- only security updates, system updates (desktop and related programs)
or all updates (all installed packages).

Is there any plan for Fedora 8 to be more user friendly in this
regard? I love Fedora Desktop more that any other linux desktop and
just would like to see it adopt the great ideas that others have
already implemented and then suprise them with some new features that
other destops don't have.

Thank you.
