New To Debian - Couple of Questions

[Joe Giles <jgiles@joeman1.com>]

List,

I am new to Debian and have a couple of generic questions. I have used
Red Hat for years and I'm fairly comfortable with Linux. Here are some
questions I have:

1> Is there a facility like Red Hat(up2date) where I can update packages
on my system? Will apt-get work?

2> Is the Kernal hacked and patched like the RedHat kernel?

3> Would you rather just download the ISO's or would you rather use the
jigdo app?


I appreciate the assistance and I'm sure I will enjoy Debian.

Thanks again

Joe
