... followed immediately by apt-get -u dist-upgrade or if you're feeling
wussy, run dselect, apt-console, stormpkg, gnome-apt or whatever.

Just a quick point that many beginners don't know: dselect has its own db
of available packages, so if you've just doen an apt-get update, you still
have to run update in dselect to get the new packages to show up in the
list.
