  correct.  since i preload my shell commands when i login for
me the difference is between !2 and !3, !4 does the purge of
autoinstalled packages and !1 does the apt-get update.

  these commands go in my .bashrc for root.

=====
history -c
history -s "apt-get update& fetchnews&"
history -s "apt-get upgrade"
history -s "apt-get dist-upgrade"
history -s "apt-get autoremove --purge"
=====

  after i've seen a new kernel come through i clean up the oldest
one so i don't have that hanging around wasting space.

  i don't run unstable though for much these days other than noting
when a new firefox release comes along.
