The easiest way to do an update would be from the terminal, as in the example Xanayoshi gave in that post. Another way to do an update would be to open up Synaptic Package Manager. From the panel click on System, mouse over Administration, then goto and click on Synaptic Package Manager. Once it is open click on Reload. When it is done, click on Mark All Upgrades, then click Apply. From that point it may ask you if you want to apply any changes. Now, depending on what you are updating, you are going to have to decide weather or not to apply the changes. One thing about Synaptic Package Manager is, you can see what it`s asking you to update, and that can be helpful, but take care in using it.
I have found that using the terminal is the easiest way to update your system.
Open the terminal, then enter:
sudo apt-get update
