Yah, it works. But what is the general command to upgrade a package? ( like rpm -Uvh package)

Sarav

Once you are up and running after your initial debian install, the commands are:


to update the system:
$> apt-get update

to see what will be upgraded after the above update command(-s means to simulate I guess):
$> apt-get -s upgrade


and to actually upgrade (get the newer versions of already installed programs):
$> apt-get upgrade



to install new software(supposed you want the game chromium): $> apt-get install chromium


For more details, see: $> man apt-get

You may want to kown what "-u" options means.

HTH,
