Re: [orca-list] XP-Like Ubuntu security question

Hey Glenn

Ubuntu 10.04 should check automatically for security updates. If not,
you can set update preferences in System -> Administration -> Software
sources. You can also do it manually with the commands:
sudo apt-get update
and then:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
