This chapter describes post-installation procedures that you can perform after you install the Java Desktop System Release 3 on Linux systems.

Checking for and Installing System Updates

The Java System Update Service (Java SUS) enables you to perform the following actions:

• Install software updates for your Java Desktop System.

• Specify which server to check for available updates.

To launch the Java SUS application, choose Launch -> Applications ->Utilities ->Online Update.
