I prefer to use aptitude full-upgrade routinely - but I have the code name in my sources.list, not stable or testing. I then change the code name when I want to get the more recent version. So, Squeeze not stable, Muhammad. you could get in quite a mess at the changeover point from Squeeze to Wheezy if you have stable in your sources.list, as several people have pointed out. I can't comment on your Windows analogies as I don't use Windows. I think that you need to expect that Linux will be different from whatever you used in Windows. They are very different OSs. FWIW, I do most of my admin from the CLI, including updating and upgrading. So yes, it can be done from the CLI.
