> sudo apt-get update && dist upgrade
You got the command a little bit wrong. It should read:
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
*
Question:
How often do I have to say: Sudo?
The dist-upgrade option only makes sense when you have changed the
repository sources to the newer release of Xubuntu.

This I do not understand.
I am using here Xubuntu now 13.04
Until there was Pangoline there was an Update Center
so I could update
12.4 to 12.10 then 13.04
but now there is no update center.
There is an orange button
offering:
show update
install updates
look for updates
start synaptic
Is the button right to use:
install updates
or
look for updates
?
> Second question:
> What does update do?
Update contacts the servers configured in your repository list (Files in
/etc/apt/apt.conf) and looks whether any new packages or newer versions
are available. It updates the file
'/var/lib/dpkg/status' with the package lists found on the servers. That
is important since apt will only let you search for and install new
packages when it can find them in the local file.

Sorry
my question was:
Why are there so many updates.
Example.
Every 9 days I do now update
siducion and xubuntu.
Most times 30 minutes and more is working the update.
Hundreds of files are downloaded and installed.
So the producers of Linux do so much work to update
Kernel or what else?
Because there is a lot of new software every week.
Does update also update Gimp Firefox and all the other tools?
Have a look at:
$ view /var/lib/dpkg/status

Thank You.
Regards
Sophie
