Yes, that would be nice. But for me, even for my kubuntu, where it is 
available, I use....
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

In Lubuntu, that will be using leafpad.

This applies for updates in the same version, say in Lucid and upgrade 
in only Lucid. For upgrades to newer versions, and I am quite new to 
Lubuntu, I'll recommend downloading the new iso and do a fresh install, 
though in Kubuntu I'll upgrade using the alternate cd. If others here 
who have more experience in Lubuntu have a different opinion, or I am 
wrong, please add your comments to help Daniel (and me).


Note that for new users, I would not recommend using 'full-upgrade' or 
'dist-upgrade'. for the 2nd line above.

ps: It has been mentioned before, but may I suggest the administrator of 
this mailing list add a mechanism so that replies of messages will 
automatically send to 'lubuntu-desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' rather than to the 
author? Something along the line of 'reply-to'?   Thanks.
