The command "apt-get upgrade -y" will upgrade all Debian packages, when a newer version is available. Even packages which don't have any dependencies to Xbian.
So when you also want to use other tools/features of the Pi than only Xbian, this would provide you an easy way to get an up-to-date Debian system.

When you use "apt-get install xbian-package firmware" it will only update the named package, but will of course pay attention to all needed dependencies. But for example it wouldn't update the NTFS driver, as it isn't needed for Xbian.

But for both methods you should always execute an "apt-get update" first, so that the package catalog is updated and contains the newest package versions.

By the way:
Nice to see that you made your own experiences first and just gave it a try. And of course that all went fine :-)

Are you already using XBian 1.0 Alpha 5?
