Please don't remove apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade if a "new
name" is introduced. Being a Debian based distro and seeing a bunch of
Debian users switch, this would throw them for quite a loop. Couldn't
someone use the bash profile to come up with a solution to this? (Note:
my shell skills are weak, I know enough to get around, but am far from a
power user... so far, so if this isn't possible, just say so.)
