I just try to remember to run Yum periodically, and there I'm not told which updates are security updates. I used to subscribe to the package-announce list, but I had to drop that when some broken program started sending invalid mails to the list, and the list server kicked me out for rejecting invalid mail. It was never a very good notification mechanism anyway, as I always had to wait a day or two for the packages to appear on the mirrors before I could update. Many years ago there was sometimes a tray applet that could notify me about pending updates, but it disappeared. If something similar exists now, then I don't know its name so I don't know what to install. Perhaps there is some notification mechanism in Gnome 3; I wouldn't know. I'm not aunt Tillie so I don't use Gnome 3. Björn Persson
