Does apt-get update also update the firmware, or is that a different procedure?

Hi jsw,
Just running "apt-get update" does actually not upgrade anything, it just gets the list of possible updates from the servers.
The upgrade process consists of two command:
apt-get update (that retreives the list of wich packages are available)
and
apt-get dist-upgrade that actually upgrades the system.
This process will update the entire system.

Sorry, I meant an update followed by an upgrade. So this fixes the firmware too. Nice!
