[desktop] Software Center and Software Updater

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Possibly a good idea to have it "up front" like that.  I think there
is a lot of coverage on the page about Synaptic Package Manager, and
possibly (if there is one) on the one about "Ubuntu Software Centre",
also in the section that tries to help noobs migrating away from
Windows by showing common alternatives to Windows programs.

It's not stealing!  People who wrote those pages wanted the
information to be spread as widely as reasonably possible and wanted
to help people overcome any problem they might have had through lack
of knowledge/understanding.  The 'copyright' notices are copyleft ones
that allow us to modify and reuse.
Regards from
Tom :)
