I agree. This is exactly what I'm proposing. A valid point has been raised about increased load on the update servers, but I think that's an issue that will have to be addressed if needed, rather than a valid reason to continue not having an hourly update option. Moreover, how many people would even see the option or bother to enable it? I would guess that most people probably don't want to be harassed by update-manager more than once per day. On the other hand, if you're in the subset of users who have "Install security updates without confirmation" enabled, you might probably find that checking for updates only once per day is insufficient. Lastly, it is worth noting that Fedora is also a pretty high-profile distribution, and they're able to provide this option (presumably) without their servers grinding to a halt. Again, I would venture to guess that only a small fraction of their users actually change the setting from its default of "daily." -- 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
