It's really not necessary more often I think. And the servers would also suffer if there were to many update-querys.

It's not better to do this via the terminal. But of course you can do it any time by:

$ sudo apt-get update

To simplest and quick way to keep upgraded your Jaunty via terminal:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y --assume-yes upgrade; sudo apt-get -y --assume-yes dist-upgrade ; sudo apt-get autoremove

Then when you want you can simply open a terminal press the up arrow key and press enter.

Hope this helps
