First let me preface by saying I've absolutely no idea if Ubuntu supports
this update method but in Slackware there is 'pkgtool' run as root.

_IF_ that utility exists on U'u:

You download the thunderbird_release_current.tgz or whichever
and invoking pkgtool from the download directory simply select remove
the existing Thunderbird, quit, reinvoke and from the directory it lay in
select and choose install.


You're done.

To find out if this exists in U'u just open to root console
and type pkgtool - enter.

I upgraded my Firefox to the latest current release snagging it from
www.slackware.org downloads link and snagging the appropriate file.


While doing so I noticed Thunderbird was there as well.

There's probably a more user friendly something or other in 
U'u to do the same thing but with no experience with that OS it
remains mere speculation on my part.

Actually pkgtool is the easiest utility I've run across in
Slackware period.

There's also a previously mentioned by me of a user friendly 
Linux called Phoenix and that is available at www.raccomputers.com
link at PhoenixOS icon.

It's 1.4 gig in size and I know nothing at all about it but that'll
change in a day or two when I loop mount it just to examine the documentation 
and whether or not it's got both 32 bit and 64 bit versions in thta ISO image
file.

There's also a mini-laptop edition and information on that web site at
the aforementioned PhoenixOS link.

If it's as good as it appears to be at Ray's shop I'll turn other local
to me users on to it.

I should mention it runs Windows applications with Ray's own designed front end

application loader making Windows application additions as easy as clicking an 
executable file in Windows.
