sudo aptitude -R
press u
press U
press g
(read to make sure it's not screwing up anything)
press g again
That will bring all the packages up to date.
Regarding the settings, we have not written an update utility, should be
easy but no time for it yet unfortunately.. If anyone wants to help :)
This utility should just compare and check things we put here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~puredyne-team/broth/devel/files/head:/stock/chroot_local-includes/and ask the user if she/he wants to have the new settings applied.
So meanwhile, you can do it manually ...
AFAIK, there have been no crucial changes except for a small security
issue that was mentionned in the releases announcement, and indeed some
changes for the default terminal.

"install puredyne" will perform a full installation (non-live) of the
running live Puredyne, not sure how personal stuff is handled ... maybe
there are some migration tools that we could use via ubiquity?
