i. Install apt-listbugs
ii. Subscribe to the debian-security mailing list for your distro.
iii. Ensure your /etc/apt/sources.list is correct for your version of

iii. "apt-get update && aptitude update && aptitude upgrade"
iv. Review the "apt-listbugs" info carefully keeping a close lookout
for "<done>".
