Re: Online Update vs System Update?

Thanks for the info. Doing things via the command line seems very
efficient (and probably a lot more flexible) if you know the right
commands. It's a little more intimidating for the newbie though (I
always feel like I'm more likely to mess something up compared to going
through the gui) although that probably just due to lack of experience.
I guess this is my chance to get some.

Thanks again. -Pat

Some good advice if you want to familiarize yourself with CLI.
You can always practicing your command line skill with your own account.
Don't be afraid if something going wrong. It's ok as long as you don't
use root account to do something you're not familiar with. This is
another advice to help you to get familiar with CLI:
>Look at man pages to read the manual that comes with every program's
installed on your system
>You can also read the documentation for packages installed on your
system in /usr/share/doc/package/*
>For more reading stuff look at tldp.org
>If you find yourself in trouble, ask Google for help
