    APT howto

    Can someone tell me the difference between upgrade and update, it seems that there are lot of update and upgrade everyday never ends, but I don't see the version change on for example the Mozilla Thunderbird it is still 1.0

    Update just updates the package list from the resporitories, so that Apt will download the latest package if you tell it to, Upgrade actually downloads and installs the latest packages on the list, if they are newer than the current version. Type apt-get --help for info on Apt commands

    As for the Thunderbird thing, I don't know if there's a Debian build later than 1.0 yet (but I might be wrong, anyone?)
    EDIT: allow me to correct myself. If you want to update Thunderbird you'll either have to get the Mozilla.org release or add these lines to sources.list:
    deb http://people.debian.org/~asac/testing ./
    deb-src http://people.debian.org/~asac/testing ./
    More info on Debian Thunderbird Here
