I just saw Puppylinuxworlds video on the new point release of MX-4 and can't seem to figure out how to upgrade from 14.2 to 14.3. I ran sudo apt-get update and upgrade . After a restart of my system I still see I am running 14.2 (Distro: MX-14.2 Symbiosis 30 June 2014) after running inxi -F from the terminal.

I am not completely sure, but try:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I don't think the name you get when you run inxi will change, but the applications should be"new"

Someone who knows more will probably give you a better answer soon-ish

I solved everything on my own and I am SO happy I did. Here are the results:

Code: Select all

$ inxi -S
System:    Host: mx14 Kernel: 3.14-0.bpo.2-686-pae i686 (32 bit)

I also replaced my Grub as wewll using the Grub customizer. To say I am elated is an understatement!

Thanks Jerry!


You know, coming from a Mac background, I initially found it very challenging switching over to Linux. By a shear determination to learn as much as I can in the face of a great deal of negative attitude on my part, things started clicking for me. I found myself relying more on myself and less on forums etc... Now I try to figure out things on my own. If they break or create a mess so be it. My attitude now is, what have I learned from this. I find it very gratifying, humbling and fascinating what I have learned so far. In a strange kind of way, the process of learning about Linux and what it has to offer has been a constant revelation which is starting to make a whole lot of sense.

Oh, and that's a good thing __{{emoticon}}__ Now if only I can wrap my head around Antix 13.2. I watch the videos etc... but still I can't seem to click when it comes to using it. It will happen. I'm going to re-install it into another partition on my laptop. For me, I look at it like a Puppy Linux distro (speed and flexibility) with solid Debian underpinnings.

Linux is a constant learning curve, well done for getting to where you are now.
Give yourself a pat on the back. __{{emoticon}}__
