Re: apt WAS:var is full...

Thanks for the info J.  I use autoclean instead of clean and it shows 
certain packages deleted list after the upgrade.

My normal update/upgrade regimen goes thusly:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoclean
updatedb

I don't know if that is the bestest and greatest way to do it but it 
does well for me.

Thanks for the info on the cron job situation w. apt.  Going to look 
into it and see if i can understand it.
