Kali Rolling - Lets update

Well, Kali linux just got an upgrade ( Quite some time back ).
Feeling bored with Natasha, decided that i should do an upgrade for my VM.

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Change it to:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

If you are still on SANA,which you should not be...
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
# For source package access, uncomment the following line
# deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
# deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free


Note that sometimes, you might get a package error.
I find that using the mirror could be a better choice. ( http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist )
I'm using archive-3.kali.org mirror.
So my sources.list look something like this..
deb http://archive-3.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive-3.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

Finally, do a apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
It's GOING to take some time... Took about 1GB of network data...
