It does have an icon that sits on the toolbar that will notify you when 
an update is available.  I've only seen it on the kde toolbar, but I've 
not run the full blown gnome that comes with SuSE.  I've only seen it on 
the kde toolbar because that's the default install.  I use enlightenment 
with pieces of gnome for my X.

You can automate it so that it does the updates regularily itself as well.
