Stephan Hodges came up with a great idea in the Feature Requests forum:
http://www.Virtualmin.com/forums/message-view?message_id=101483
Instead of having to tell us 7 different ways to update (depending on system type), why not just add this functionality into Virtualmin (not webmin), so that we can see any "pending" (i.e. new) updates, a link to the news about them, any uninstalled (i.e. "install" vs "update") options, etc.
Also, have an option to mail the admin with the update report (since it wouldn't be from a console).
I don't see any need to access the console in Cpanel to install updates, etc. This should also save Joe some typing for all those per system commands ...
I think this would be a nice addition to the system, especially for a new user to "catch up" with all of the new modules that have been posted to the News forum in the past.
