Is this effective? Is there any danger?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And then

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove

By the way I run my Linux in VMWare

Should I also run Ubuntu Tweak?

Thanks

Actually, you don't really need to clean up after Linux, it deletes the temp files on shutdown. That command only cleans it up for your current session. If you were running a server, or some piece of critical hardware that does not shut down, then I would say it wouldn't hurt to clean it every now and then. Remember, this isn't Microsoft. :)

As for Ubuntu Tweak, I've never used it, although a quick search reveals that it is no longer being maintained. Personally, if a piece of software is no longer being updated and supported, I get rid of it.

Hope that helps!
