What is for apt-get upgrade? What's difference with apt-get dist-upgrade? Can I avoid downloading dsl 0.6.3 and upgrade my 0.6.2 with some of those comands?

Apt-get upgrade--upgrades what you have on the system already but doesn't introduce new packages unless absolutely necessary.
Apt-get dist-upgrade--upgrades everything on your system and resolves any new dependancies as well, thus introducing more new stuff to your system.Thanks Grim, and by the way: what is preferable: update an existing distro or download and install the new version (I'm just thinking in new 0.6.3... )I haven't downloaded the 0.6.3 release yet, but it addresses many of the common problems users have been having (as shown by the number of repeated questions throughout the forum).
If I were you, I would download, burn and install the newer version. Damn Small isn't ready yet for dist-upgrade. We need to set up a repository server and pin apt to use a Damn Small server for packages that, if you were to upgrade elsewhere, would break the distro.
I think you'll be happier with 0.6.3 and you're less likely to break something you need (like the X servers) just to get something simple updated.Yes,Grim I'm very happy with 0.6.3 few hour of using but I feel very confortable with it! Good idea: apt repository! Next Page...
