"openSUSE Linux Unleashed"


In the right corner of the Kicker, next to the clock, are more application icons that always
run. Mouse over each to see what they are. The blue globe icon is the openSUSE Software
Updater application, which checks the YaST Online Update (YOU) servers regularly to see
if updates are available. These fix security problems and give you new versions of installed
applications. This icon will change color when new updates are available; click once to
begin the update process. See Chapter 21, ???Keeping Your System Current: Package
Management,??? for more information on YOU.

icons, virtual desktops, and applications that run at startup.
The Klipper clipboard utility offers much more than its Windows counterpart. Among
other things, Klipper stores your last seven cut/copy actions by default, so you can paste
several items in sequence if you choose. Klipper will remember your clipboard actions
over sessions, too.
So many applications have been written for KDE that the YaST initial installation menu
separates out some from the default KDE installation.
