Review Linux package upgrades

Linux package upgrades improve the overall performance of your managed Linux devices and protect them from potential vulnerabilities.

The appliance allows you to automate the process of installing and managing Linux package upgrades. It relies on individual Linux package repositories, and the assumption that your managed Linux devices point to the appropriate repository.

Also, the appliance only detects the packages that include security updates, that are identified as such in each Linux repository. It does not attempt to detect or upgrade all packages, or to upgrade the entire OS on managed devices to the latest version.

* 
NOTE: The Linux Raspbian does not make a distinction between regular and security updates. Detecting and upgrading packages for a managed Raspbian device results in all updated packages being installed on the device.
* 
NOTE: The term update in KACE Systems Management Appliance assumes the following: if there are new versions of the packages available in the distribution’s repositories, the appliance uses the standard system commands to ensure that the system installs the latest version possible. This is not in any way meant to be exactly the same way that the word update (or upgrade) is used in the underlying system commands.
