Linux Automatic Updates?

Question

I'm still running SUSE Linux 9.1 and for some strange reason the automatic updates stopped some time ago and non of the mirror servers seem to work whether ftp or http. I have been on Novell's web site which had a mile long list of update servers but despite numerous attempts I cannot seem to get these to work either.

Where am I going wrong and why can I not update my Linux version anymore ? is it no longer supported ?

Answer 1

Go into a terminal and type this:

sudo apt-get update

There you go.
