I published a little automated update script for Debian and Ubuntu called Up a while back. Up 1.0 was mainly designed as a teaching aid to show how functions work in bash scripts but it has become a tool I use daily nonetheless. Well, this morning Up got it’s first update and I just pushed it out to GitHub. Up now uses the more advanced apt command instead of the older apt-get command to get things done. The only reason Up used the older command was to be backwards compatible with Ubuntu 14.04 and Linux Mint 17.3. Since those systems are being retired next month, Up can now offer a more modern display showing progress bars and so on. It is bittersweet to see Ubuntu 14.04 go away. It was the Ubuntu that finally got me to switch to Linux %100…
