There should be some way to pick which notifications you see and enable seeing those notifications again. Also, I'd like to turn off all software upgrade notifications of any kind for users who don't have the authority to perform the upgrade.

Given that each distribution has some semblance of identification importance... it would be more correct to call each a distribution and identify it as such. @Wes Felter: As much as people would agree with you, that is mighty misleading in a Linux environment.

If you've never used betas it doesn't tell you about them. Also, I think it should be "operating system", not "distribution".

Not in any circumstances, ever.
