[orca-list] latest ubuntu updates

[MICHAEL WEAVER <michaelweaver1 btinternet com>]

Is there a way of finding out if you have the latest Ubuntu updates with 
Orca?
I ask because someone installed Feisty on my laptop for me but the chap 
couldn't get my wireless conection working.
I did a sudo apt-get update and a sudo apt-get upgrade and it seemed to 
download packages for me and may have installed them for me but as I was 
unsure if my batter would last the updating as I am not sure where the 
plug for my desktop machine is as I didn't want to unplug my broadband 
MODEM by mistake I am having to use the laptop on battery and because it 
was chattering away I wasn't sure if my batter would last long enough 
for me to do the updating so I pressed the left shift key in order to 
cut off the verbose speech so I missed important information as to 
whether my laptop has properly updated or whether I have affected my 
updates halfway through and logged out of my terminal too early which 
might have caused my system to break which is why I need to know about 
the status of my updates and whether I gave my connection long enough to 
do everything it needed to do to get me up to date with the security 
updates or updates to applications etc.
