Updating Debian Server
You can use apt-get to update all packages managed by apt-get. Many packages are not managed by apt-get, but rather by either customapache or custombuild, depending on how you've installed DirectAdmin. If you attempt to update those using apt-get one of two things will happen:
Either they won't get updated, or they'll get reinstalled over the DirectAdmin packages and break your server, depending on whether or not apt-get is set to exclude those.

Hi Chief. This is what I thought by myself. But I need to keep system up to date. So here is a list what apt-get update want to do:
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-image-2.6-686 openssh-client openssh-server proftpd
The following packages will be upgraded:
bind9 bind9-host bsdutils cpio debconf debconf-i18n dnsutils dpkg dselect
e2fslibs e2fsprogs findutils grub initramfs-tools initscripts klibc-utils
libbind9-0 libblkid1 libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i686 libcomerr2 libdns22
libgnutls13 libisc11 libisccc0 libisccfg1 libklibc libkrb53 liblwres9
libpam-modules libpam-runtime libpam0g libpcre3 libperl-dev libperl5.8
libss2 libssl-dev libssl0.9.8 libuuid1 libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
libxslt1.1 linux-image-2.6.18-5-686 locales login mount mtr-tiny openssl
passwd perl perl-base perl-modules python2.4 python2.4-minimal reportbug
selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted ssh sysv-rc sysvinit sysvinit-utils tar
tk8.4 tzdata util-linux

Need to get 62.2MB of archives.
After unpacking 15.4kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Can I do this?
If not - how keeping DA-servers up to date?
Thanks
