If you want to update your OS with every update there is for it, be sure to check in the Software Sources the Backports, and after that, open up the terminal and run the command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
*dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The dist-upgrade command may therefore remove some packages. On that way you can also get the newest kernel for your Linux distro that the developers of that distribution are providing.
