what don't you need to update

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Mike,

I am running Kubuntu on my daily driver.  On the task bar there is an 
icon for updates.  When I click it I can update all packages that have 
an update.

IIRC FireFox is a snap package on my machine.  When I first switched 
back to Linux on my daily driver I was at a loss at how to update 
FireFox.

The I learned how to utilize the update utility.... now life is good!!
