References & Guides: "Auto-Completion
One of the best features of Emacs is its ability to autocomplete words and expressions that you have already typed at least once. To complete a word, type the first few letters and then use M-/ (hold down the Meta key and then hit the / key). Emacs will make its best guess as to what the word is (it is not always correct!)."

C editing with VIM HOWTO

C editing with VIM HOWTO: "Function() one can type A_Very... and hit CTRL-P. The first matching word will be displayed first. In this case it would be A_Very_Long_Variable_Name. To complete it correctly, one can hit CTRL-P again and the search continues upwards to the next matching word, which is A_Very_Long_Function_Name. As soon as the correct word is matched you can continue typing. VIM remains in insert-mode during the entire process.

Similar to CTRL-P is the keystroke CTRL-N. This searches forwards instead of backwards. Both the keystrokes continue to search until they hit the top or bottom.

Both CTRL-P and CTRL-N are part of a mode known as CTRL-X mode. CTRL-X mode is a sub-mode of the insert mode. So you can enter this mode when you are in the insert-mode. To leave CTRL-X mode you can hit any keystroke other than CTRL-X, CTRL-P and CTRL-N. Once you leave CTRL-X mode you return to insert-mode.

CTRL-X mode allows you do auto-completion in a variety of ways. One can even autocomplete filenames. This is particularly useful when you have to include header files. Using CTRL-X mode you can include a file foo.h usi"

M-/

I press this a lot. It's the built-in autocompletion key. It took me an amazingly long time to discover this. It doesn't require any setup, and it doesn't know anything about programming languages, but that doesn't really matter. It indexes all the tokens in all the currently open buffers, and tries to complete the current word you're typing when you press M-/ . If you don't like the completion, hit M-/ again for the next one, etc. Works for text too. bash also has autocompletion on this key."

APT HOWTO - Managing packages

APT HOWTO - Managing packages

3.5 Upgrading to a new release

This feature of APT allows you to upgrade an entire Debian system at once, either through the Internet or from a new CD (purchased or downloaded as an ISO image).

It is also used when changes are made to the relationships between installed packages. With apt-get upgrade, these packages would be kept untouched (kept back).

For example, suppose that you're using revision 0 of the stable version of Debian and you buy a CD with revision 3. You can use APT to upgrade your system from this new CD. To do this, use apt-cdrom (see section Adding a CD-ROM to the sources.list file, Section 2.4) to add the CD to your /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get dist-upgrade.

It's important to note that APT always looks for the most recent versions of packages. Therefore, if your /etc/apt/sources.list were to list an archive that had a more recent version of a package than the version on the CD, APT would download the package from there.

In the example shown in section Upgrading packages, Section 3.4, we saw that some packages were kept back. We'll solve this problem now with the dist-upgrade method:

# apt-get -u dist-upgrade
