hi,
what is the best way to apply updates?
boot in single user mode then service networking start and apt-get update or from multiuser mode with apt-get update?
is it safe from multiuser mode with application shutdown?
tnx

Re: upgrade
Updates from multi-user mode are fine, just pay attention to the output and don't blindly accept the suggestions.

please be aware that "update" will only update the list of available software, not the software itself.niculelu wrote:hi,

to upgrade all installed software to its newest version (something i heartily recommend to do regularly, to anyone running debian stable) you need another
Code: Select all
apt upgrade
and yes, it's fine to do that from multiuser mode, even from a graphical terminal emulator.

Re: upgrade
Let's see if I have this right:
- updates the list of available software, and
- updates the software as per the list?
Code: Select all
apt-get update
Code: Select all
apt upgrade
