   * The UbuntuSpec:foundations-karmic-install-updates-when-installing specification covers downloading the updates while installing Ubuntu.

This will be a specification for how software updates should be presented in an existing Ubuntu installation.

Rationale

That Ubuntu updates are split into individual packages is an irrelevant detail that must not be exposed by default. For example, Microsoft ExpertZone’s “Comparing Windows 7 to Linux” retail course claims: “Linux can require a lot of time to maintain. For example, Ubuntu (a variety of Linux) may have hundreds of updates per month.” [screenshot from Overclock.net]
