-Ok, so apparently some people haven't used apt before. This here page is a repository of tidbits of information that might be useful.
-====== Basics ======
-To update the package repositories (for security purposes or whatnot):
-  apt-get update
-To upgrade everything
-  apt-get upgrade
-To install "foopackage", or upgrade it to the latest version:
-  apt-get install foopackage
-====== Other stuff ======
-To prevent a package from being upgraded (for example we use this with apache, as we need to maintain our own version):
-  echo foopackage hold | dpkg --set-selections
-  apt-get upgrade # or whatever
-To see the changelogs for a package:
-  aptitude changelog foopackage
-To check the current version of a package, and the version that apt wants to install:
- apt-cache policy foopackage
