automatic updates

[Joeb]

I'm a big fan of Ubuntu and XFCE and stumbled upon Xubuntu.  I really like what I see!  I was wondering whether Xubuntu will have the ability to automatically check for updates like Ubuntu does?  Right now, I manually have to click on the update manager.  While it's not a big deal,  it seems like a nice feature to have that icon in a system tray somewhere saying there are updates available.  

Also, I noticed that this seems to be the only active list and it is a developer's list.  Where does one post questions that might not really be developer oriented but more user/support oriented?

Again, it's looking really good!
