I am new to antiX.
I am wonder how best to do upgrading of the system and apps.
I went to Synaptic Package Manage and clicked on Mark All Upgrades and it listed 6 items. I also check"Installed (upgradable) and the same 6 are listed.
Is this the best way to upgrade? Should I do all 6 items?
Or, is there a better way?

using synaptic to apply all upgrades is fine. We normally recommend doing this from the command line, although functionally its pretty much the same.

Thanks for the information.
I separated the code into two commands which I entered sequentially and it worked.

How often is it recommended to do this upgrade?

That tends to be a matter of preference. If there is something major that requires an upgrade, anti usually puts an announcement up in the forum. On my installed system, I probably run a dist-upgrade once per week or so.

One of the nice things about the manual upgrades is that you can check the forum for any announcements before you upgrade. This tends to be more important when you are running the testing repos, and pretty much required if you are running the sid repos.

Thank you for the information.
