I always do that, except that I don't put the two commands together. Is
there some reason that it is better to run "apt-get update && apt-get
upgrade" and not "apt-get update" and then afterwards "apt-get
upgrade"?
The "&&" is an instruction to computers and a reminder to humans not
to
do the upgrade if the update fails.

Oh, right. Is that like when I couldn't access Trinity's repositories (for
some reason, long time ago), and suddenly apt wanted to uninstall everything
TDE?
I've seen the && part of the command before, but mostly for getting keyrings,
etc., and I prefer to do stuff one step at a time, if possible, to watch
what's happening. However, I can (maybe) change.
