DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #22 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
SECURITY-CONSCIOUS? Good! Here's how you can use apt-get to keep
your system up-to-date with the latest security patches: in
/etc/apt/sources.list include these lines--
	deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security potato/updates main contrib non-free
	deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
	deb http://security.debian.org potato/updates main contrib non-free
Thereafter, a quick "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" is all
you need to keep the gremlins at bay.
