Which version do you use?

I am using the following setup:
 debconf (non-interactive) dpkg-reconfigure -f dialog -p medium debconf

Upgrade_debian script:
=================================================
#!/bin/sh
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive"

apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get clean
