If you're running Ubuntu then I'd use the official Ubuntu documentation:-

http://help.ubuntu.com/
http://help.ubuntu.com/community/
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/keeping-safe/C/updates.html

The equivalent of using update manager is:-

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This will keep your system updated, and will not upgrade it to the
next release of Ubuntu.
