In reading online it seems that the standard practice to apply security patches would be to run 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get upgrade'. I am curious if this really is the best way and if so, how often should it be done?
I use Fluxbox, and quickly switched from the default Gnome when I first installed. But, before doing that, I noticed that there was monitor of some sort which popped up in the notification area announcing available updates. How reliable is this tool, and can it be used from outside of Gnome? Just trying to get a grip on system maintenance and hoping to hear some ideas from those here.
