John, I update on occasion - no obsession about updating everyday or
anything like that. When I do update, the important thing is to make
sure the upgrade will go cleanly. Don't update if it's going to remove
important packages, or do something undesirable. This is quite a rare
occurrence (I haven't seen it yet this cycle), but it is possible.
Things like not all the packages needed to update are in the archive at
the time you update, etc, can case this. It's why daily builds also
sometimes fail. That said, I do update via the command line, apt-get
update, apt-get dist-upgrade.

Sanjeev Gutpa,
So do you only run those two commands at different times throughout
the day? Are there any other commands to be aware of?
How can I ensure that by running those two commands, I get the daily
build from the uk.archive.ubuntu.com archive? Because by default, mine
is set to us.archive.ubuntu.com.
Thanks.

I was thinking just doing:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
at around noon in my timezone daily is the only sequence. Can I
be missing something?
I have been doing this since 11.10, staying with daily updates to
Ubuntu+1.
Two observations:
1. I see updates throughout the day, not just noon. Sometimes I see
updates three or more times in a workday.
2. Using uk.archive.ubuntu.com <http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com> ,
seems to have updates a few hours faster.
