About updates

[KMBBANS]

after I do the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade is there another command I have to do to actually install the updates or no.

Instead of using apt-get upgrade, you should use "apt-get dist-upgrade", because this will also handle dependencies intelligently, so you should only need to do apt-get update and this command.

[KMBBANS]

so I do the apt-get update and then the dist-update and the same for the upgrade?

[Vanderburg]

Yes, you'll do

apt-get update

then when it finishes doing its downloading and updating, then you'll do

apt-get dist-upgrade

[KMBBANS]

what about for the upgrade do I do the same thing apt-get upgrade and then apt-get dist-upgrade

[Vanderburg]

You should only need to use the two commands I listed.
