How to get the latest updates on your Eee

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

At least this is how I do it :-D

1. Run a terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-T

2. Type 'sudo apt-get update' to update the packge list

2. Type 'sudo apt-get upgrade' to ugprade to latest versions

Works a treat, and there seem to be pretty frequent updates!

You could also run 'sudo synaptic' from the terminal window to get a GUI version...

Please don't do that on ubuntu unless you know exactly what you're doing ;)

Doesn't Xandros have an update manager/daemon ? Something like adept_notifier/adept-updater

Why would doing that on Ubunto cause a problem? It's effectively just the same as updating available packages in Synaptic?

apt-get dist-upgrade is a different matter of course :(

There is a GUI updater, but I like to do it the dirrrrty way ;)
