Lesson as per Linux Home "Question"

[showgun]

I have done the following
apt-get update - will update your system with the latest security enhances packages. Use: apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded to get a little more verbose report of what's going on.

When this is done is there any apt-get --purge remove [program/package name] removes any trace of a program from your system.

Or was this automatically done after the updates?

Also when I come around to intall a program or an update do I need to do the above every time?

Thanks.

i am not getting it. do you want to un-install installed packages or clean cache after updating system.
apt-get --purge <package_name> will remove the package completely and

apt-get clean cache

will clear cache. you can use 'all' instead of 'cache' to clear everything.
