Maybe you could have a question mark beside it, like the icon for yelp, and when you press it, it gives you a more elaborate description of what they do (eg. "The security updates are vital to keep your system secure and protected against hackers; they are strongly recommended, even if you don't want new features and bug fixes in your system. The regular updates include <a href="link to a page about what a bug is">bug fixes</a> and other fixes for broken software; although it is okay to run a system without these, they are still reccomedned for a stable system. (Insert something about proposed updates, I've never heard of them; insert something about the importance of proposed updates.) The backports will often contain newer versions of packages, containing new features, or even packages which don't exist in the normal software sources; however, they can be unstable and are not supported, and are therefore not recommended.") -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
