Howdy,
What exactly does the update and upgrade command do? Does it update and upgrade the repositories or all the applications already installed on my computer? Or something else? Where can I get information on this subject? A documentation perhaps, or a tutorial........Thank you for your input..........Rich

Well, sudo apt-get update will check for updates in the repositories in your sources.list. sudo apt-get upgrade will install the updates.

There are some commands listed here.

apt-get -h will give you a list of commands and switches. ( -h = help )

thanks again................Rich
