Hello. How does one upgrade the distro? I have searched the web but I am
getting some contradictions, and I am hesitant to mess things up.

All websites suggest updating the /etc/apt/sources.list file. This makes
a lot of sense. However, the consensus ends here. Beyond that, I have no
idea what's correct.

Some suggest a simple `apt-get update` followed by an `apt-get dis-upgrade`

Some suggest:
apt-get update
apt-get install apt dpkg aptitude
apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

Some even suggest updating the kernel using and apt-get install kernel-*
stuff. (Subquestion: does dist-upgrade update the kernel?)

Enlighten me! What is the proper way to do this?
