-===== Manual System Upgrade =====
-The manual system upgrade can be done in any terminal emulator, including:
-   * **Lxterminal** (LXDE, Openbox, JWM)
-   * **MATE** Terminal (MATE)
-   * **Konsole** (KDE)
-   * **QTerminal** (LXQt)
-   * **Xfce4 Terminal** (Xfce)
-   * **Terminology** (Enlightenment)
-   * **Gnome Terminal**, **Xterm**, **Terminator**, **Tilda**, etc., etc.
-or in a system's terminal, which is available via the keys: 'Alt' + 'Ctrl' + 'F1 - F6' (F7 return to X).
-All the operations have to be done as system's administrator (root).
-**Safe Upgrade** - it will upgrade all already installed packages without installing new dependencies:
-   sudo apt-get update
-   sudo apt-get upgrade
-**Full System Upgrade** - it will upgrade all packages, with installing additional new packages required by the upgrade process. **This option is recommended for SparkyLinux**, because it is based on Debian testing.
-   sudo apt-get update
-   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
-If the upgrading process failed, or to make sure everything gone well, run:
-  sudo apt-get install -f
-Make sure that new packages show up in Debian testing daily, so make the system upgrade as often as possible (ones per day is perfect, but it's your choice).
-If you **DO NOT** want to upgrade a selected package, do:
-   echo package-name hold|dpkg --set-selections
-Unblock held package so it will be upgradeable after:
-   echo package-name install|dpkg --set-selections
