Using Debian, I do (at the CLI):

# aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade -y

Leave out the -y if you want to be consulted before the upgrade goes ahead.

I know that this can be done in Ubuntu, but I believe that Ubuntu also has a 
GUI package manager, and I believe that use of this is to be preferred; and 
as for the CLI, I do not know whether Ubuntu uses safe-upgrade.  If it does 
not, you would need to use aptitude upgrade, without the safe-.  You may also 
prefer to use apt-get in place of aptitude.
