Hi, On this page : https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch10.en.html One says : "10.1.2.1 Manually checking which security updates are available Debian does have a specific tool to check if a system needs to be updated but many users will just want to manually check if any security updates are available for their system. " As the author tells about apt-get update && upgrade in the following lines, I guess it is not the tool he is referring to. So does anyone know what tool he does refer to ?
