What is the full-system-upgrade command for your distro?

I wish to compile a list of commands for doing a full system upgrade on various Linux distros... please post the ones you know. I will start with the ones I am most familiar with...

Arch Linux: pacman -Syu
Debian: apt-get dist-upgrade

Debian / Anyone using apt: "apt-get dist-upgrade" (After apt-get update)

EDIT: Forgive me its 2 in the morning ... going to bed now

yum update, if I understood question correctly - installs new versions of all packages.

As above, that's how i understood it, in arch i use

Code:

pacman -Suy

it automatically updates the distro. (since the kernel and package versions are constantly changing, i think they just update the text file in /etc/ that contains the release version when there's a major update of packages.

Slackware doesn't have one, but if you want, I can post a modified version of the scripts I use to keep my system up-to-date [-current, at least].

For Mandriva, I think it is

Code:

urpmi --auto-select
