As said before, if you're in the sudo group and in the /etc/sudoers file you can run "apt-get upgrade". The main difference I've seen between being root and sudoing is that when you're root (This is only by default, not always) apt-get usually doesn't ask you to give a [y/n] before installing everything, while running as sudo does. I'm sure that can be changed but it's really the only main difference between root and sudo when it comes to apt. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
