Updating system using sudo apt-get

[Senior_Buckethead]

Hi everyone

sorry for a dumb question, but how do I update the system using apt-get.
I know that if I type sudo apt-get update, it updates the list of packages available, but how do I then use that updated list to upgrade any packages that are out of date?

I know I could go to update manager and let that do the updating, but where is the fun in that?

Oops, almost forgot. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 i386.
Glenn.

sudo apt-get upgrade

will then upgrade the packages.

i didnt think that this would be a normal post seeing as Linux users are used to binary code. Saying thanks for the others though.

sudo apt-get upgrade

Before running this you should always:

sudo apt-get update

... first.

Or to make it easier with one command:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

or

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Either will work fine.
