Ubuntu Lucid automatic security upgrades ?

Included in today's installable upgrades. I didn't realise that I already had this installed.
Question: Do you like this ? I personally would like to know what security updates are to be installed.

 

I do for all the old folks I install Lucid, security is important otherwise the safety of Linux is negated and this lets it do automatically.

 

on my fedora i make all auto update now i set ubuntu on my brother laptop on auto update as well i see no harm in it good thing for lazy creatures like me

 

Code:

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

will give you the details of everything that's about to be installed.

 

Thanks chronomatic. As I have always been using apt I think the same can be achieved:-
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -u upgrade (With the -u option APT shows the complete list of packages which will be upgraded).

 

Right. I like to use aptitude because it has more features, not least of which is that it will remove dependencies when removing a package.

 

That is so, alas too late for me as I have been led to believe that one should not be mixing the two commands, i.e. use either apt or aptitude.

 

That's true. And if it comes to removing dependencies one should not forget that since Edgy apt-get has the autoremove option. So I think that this advantage of aptitude is no longer really convincing.

I haven't seen it either. Am checking manually.
