Hi,

My Ubuntu server is configured to receive the package updates from the following repositiories:

- deb [http://linux.mellanox.com/public/repo/mlnx\_ofed/latest-23.10/ubuntu22.04/$(ARCH)](http://linux.mellanox.com/public/repo/mlnx_ofed/latest-23.10/ubuntu22.04/$(ARCH)) ./
- deb [http://archive.lambdalabs.com/ubuntu](http://archive.lambdalabs.com/ubuntu) jammy main

I am looking forward for any recommendations with respect to updating the packages from these repositories after running : sudo apt update , apt list --upgradable.

- Is there a way to differentiate the general packages and the security packages from these repositories? or just go with the default way to upgrade the packages with : sudo apt upgrade?
- Any other security recommendations for these packages with a balance of stability?

I dont have a test server, so a bit cautious with updating and upgrading the packages on my server.

Thanks in Advance!

`sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` is recommended.

If you want to be extra cautious, back up your data before upgrading, but it’s rare that the above command causes problems.
