> $ = A command for your normal login account follows...
> sudo = do the following as root, according to /etc/sudoers
> apt-get update = update all package availability information from my currently enabled repositories
> && = Only if command to the left exits without error, run the command to the right
> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade = as root, update my whole machine to the latest packages appropriate to my distro & version
> 
> NOTE: dist-upgrade does not initiate a distribution version upgrade, it upgrades your current distribution installation as extensively as possible within it's current distro-version.  For example: Samba might go from 3.0.23-17 to 3.0.24-9, but Ubuntu won't go from 9.04 to 9.10.
