From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've wanted this for a while; when I'm done with my computer, I don't mind it staying on a bit longer to do this, rather than when I next turn it on when I (presumably) want to do something. Great add!
I wonder how that will play together with Distros like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed where you basically do a whole OS upgrade and are not supposed to do "just" updates.
I hope we can easily supply our own script to run.
it's tied to packagekit, so tumbleweed should work ootb. opensuse's immutable distro is less likely to be possible though, as well as anything else like that
