Re: New to Mepis
The package management system for MEPIS is apt. The GUI for apt is Synaptic. They both access the Debian repositories, and depending on which MEPIS version those will either be lenny or squeeze for the latest versions. There is an apt notifier in the community repositories that sits in the panel and will notify you of updates, The updates are not automatic as you have to initiate the action to update. However you can mark all updates in Synaptic and get them all at once, or use apt-get in a root terminal to do the same. _________________ Forum Rules Guide - How to Ask for Help Link to Wiki Rich Acer Laptop 5750G: Intel i5, 4 GIG mem, nVidia GT540M/Intel integrated graphics Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.2 M12 Alpha 2 in VirtualBox |

Re: New to Mepis It's not automatic but it's not Rocket Science either.

Re: New to Mepis Actually, I quite prefer it not automatic. That gives me enough time to check and ponder if I really want or need the updates. Oh, Welcome, by the way.

Re: New to Mepis Nor would I. I've had updates mess things up and it's not that hard to tell when that would happen.
