I think you are looking for "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" but you first have to configure your "/etc/apt/sources.list" file to point to the right repositories based on your preferences. http://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList > Is there a FAQ or something out there for users coming from CentOS to > Debian? When I migrated from openSUSE I found very useful this "Reference Card" for a quick start: http://tangosoft.com/refcard/ (hum... it is not updated, still for lenny) And of course, the main docs: http://www.debian.org/doc/index.en.html Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
