Hi All
I'm beginning to find my way around my ubuntu 8.04 servers now, but on thing that still gets me is updates!
I can run updates and upgrades, but I was wondering if there is a way to view the available updates and choosing which ones to install?
On my desktop system, i get a popup with all the available updates and I can choose which ones to install and which ones to leave off (if required), now I don't expect a pop up box on my server build! but it would be good if there was a command to show the available ones such as
:~# apt-get list-updates
according to the man pages,
:~# apt-get --show-upgraded
or
:~# apt-get -u
should give me the desired result but I can't get anything from it!
back to the noob corner, I know!!
Cheers
