It could if it were accessible; unfortunately it isn't. To do a good
first update and upgrade of packages on ubuntu the file
/etc/apt/sources.list needs editing. The lines with # http at their
beginnings all need changing to http at their beginnings. Once that's
done, the command aptitude update will get you the latest software lists
on your hard drive (an essential prerequisite to a distribution
upgrade), then the command aptitude dist-upgrade -y will do the upgrade
for you so your hard drive has the current correct set of files for your
installation. It's important to watch the ubuntu-security list since
this will let you know when hackers find ways to crack software on your
machine and will let you know when it really is time to do aptitude
update followed by aptitude dist-upgrade -y so you get any fixed
packages maybe in time. After a distribution upgrade gets done a halt
-p command shuts the system down completely and you need to restart the
system to use all of the new stuff you downloaded and have none of the
bad stuff hanging around in memory.

Hi Josh,

Hi,
From it sounds like, installing things software and such even onto
ubuntu
involved a lot of commands and things. How do you remember all those
lengthy
commands? or can you copy them all to a clipboard like thing and run
them in
sequence?
Have you tried synaptic? I guess it can simplify much of your work.
Hope this helps,
