We provide regular package updates on all repositories. You can
install those update using the GUI, or you can directly run the CLI
command `apt-get`:

 apt-get update
 apt-get dist-upgrade

NOTE: The `apt` package management system is extremely flexible and
provides countless of feature - see `man apt-get` or <<Hertzog13>> for
additional information.

You should do such updates at regular intervals, or when we release
versions with security related fixes. Major system upgrades are

upgrade instructions.

TIP: We recommend to run regular upgrades, because it is important to
get the latest security updates.
