Installing Ubuntu 14.04 x64: Update

Installing Ubunto is relatively easy.. a easy guide  on Virtual Machine can also be used; just copy the iso to USB Stick and boot from USB.

just a few more steps to ensure you have everything going

# Log in then become root:
> sudo su
# Follwing steps makes you install updated
> apt-get update
> apt-get upgrade
> apt-get dist-upgrade

# Note: you can use "apt-get dist-upgrade" instead of "apt-get upgrade"
> # apt-get upgrade --> upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed
> # dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages

# to do the above on a single line is also possible, but I prefer to do it one by one, to ensure there are no errors..

> sudo apt-get update && time sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
