Bye, Rodolfo Rodolfo, the thing to remember is that you can install from the magazine disks, but inevitably they do not have the latest versions. First, you need to get updates, which will make any security changes that are needed. Then you can get any additional packages you may want from on-line sources. You will need to configure the new sources, but if you go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ you will find a great tool to help you do that.
