and that's enough?
from 'man apt-get':
Code:
dist-upgrade
In addition to performing the function of upgrade, this option also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages;
apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones, if necessary.
is there more to a distro update? this just updates installed packages plus dependencies. i'm just trying to be sure i have the latest distro as well as learning the environment.
