you would use Ubuntu's built-in Update manager, once you have installed the Ubuntu and the system up and running you can do an automated update using the built-in Update manager, or with the Synaptic package manager (which is same as using sudo apt-get install commands) for updating or install more software packages.

any build of Ubuntu will do, i don't want you to worry about these things at this time, really.
don't mind me saying this... most likely you will install the Linux more than one time, you will not be able to get it to work so well for you at the first time. if you want to use Linux you'll want to know a lot of things about it, how things work in Linux and so on, and sometimes these things takes a lot of time to learn. until you have some of the things of Linux, then after picking the distro/build that suit you best you can then set the Linux system up again real good, and then keep it.
