[TriLUG] Up2date

[Geoff Purdy]

I'm a fan of running up2date from the command line instead of the gui.  I just 
type the following in a terminal:

up2date --update --nox

Then I go on and do other stuff and I generally forget it's running.  When I 
come back to it, it's successfully completed.  No interaction required 
(unlike the gui).
