That means that there is no "daily" updates in LMDE, no?

I found what I say in: viewtopic.php?f=198&t=101670&hilit=update+manager

Ok, thank you zerozero :) It's my first time in this kind of distros. I was acsostumate to updates every day :oops:

xingular,
it depends on the sources.list you are using:
- if you are using the standard lmde installation (with latest repos), no, you won't get daily updates, updates are mainly delivered though update-packs and some (not many) through the mint repo (FF, TB, Opera, mint tools)
we can check that if yo give us the output of
Code: Select all
