Under Heading -> -> Installing 

How to manually update Ubuntu using Apt-get?
       1. Read How do I add Universe and Multiverse?
       2.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Shouldn't this be dist-upgrade, not upgrade? as a general practice, i was under
the impression that dist-upgrade is the recomended method, as 'upgrade' can fail
to resolv dependancies (its not supposed to after all. from the man page:
"... under no circumstances are  currently  installed  packages  removed,  or
packages not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of
currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the
install  status  of another package will be left at their current version.")
