When you connect to the Internet, the openSUSE Updater automatically checks
whether software updates for your system are available. An openSUSE Updater
applet in the system tray of your panel informs you about the availability of
updates and lets you easily install them with just a few clicks. The applet
icon changes color and appearance depending on the availability of updates
for your system. For detailed information about how
to install software updates with openSUSE Updater and how to configure openSUSE Updater,
refer to Section 3.7, Keeping the System Up-to-date,
(↑ Start-Up ).
