How will users update there system, I am sure temrinal or is that a work in progress?
it's debian based, so it's up to the user. I use the terminal
which means i can just do a
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
or use dpkg, or any other tool.
As far as a gui? Sure, easy. Synaptic for a simple setup, or if you really wanted, the software center. Yes, the same one (for the most part) you see in ubuntu.
