[CoLoCo] Ubuntu-us-co Digest, Vol 47, Issue 40

[Ian Santopietro]

Hi Jerry.

That's basically Ubuntu letting you know that there are updates available
for your system. Specifically, it checks for updated versions of software
packages on your system, then displays that when you login. In your case,
there are new versions of 33 different packages available. Of those 33, 15
of them are updates related to security, rather than bug fixes.

You can take care of getting the updates by running these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

That will download the latest package information, just in case another
update or two sneaked in since you logged in. Then, it will automatically
download and install any available updates.
