well, I have questions about upgrading Linux. since i have been using Microsoft for years the concept of upgrade I think is different from Linux upgrade.
in a testing environment I was trying to upgrade the security patches and I run the command apt-get upgrade. It ran fine, but at the end it upgraded my whole OS, first my test machine was showing Debian version 6.0.4 now after the upgrade it shifted to Wheezy/SID which I think is unstable. In Microsoft when we upgrade the OS. it downloads only the security and OS patches. So the question are 1. how to upgrade only the security patches? 2. if the upgrade patch trigger any critical issue. Like any service like hosting, filesharing or squid got effected by the update, how come we know which patch cause this problem and how to remove that specific patch because in Microsoft I have seen that security patches and OS patches some time make problems when run along with ongoing services. 3. how to revert back to old OS, for example, in my case i upgraded my system from 6.0.4 to Wheezy/SID now want to revert things back.
