Can you send me a straight-forward list of commands for updating and applying any necessary security patches and such on my install? And is there a way of getting it to update automatically?

The information you require is in the following packages.

1. aptitude package   man aptitude will display the commands

2. debian-reference A reference Doc that can be viewed in a abrowser (html).


These packages are a must have for any new user.
