The stuff running on the server (all of the applications) are part of the
automatic upgrades which the orange icon in the top right corner prompt you
for.  The LTSP chroot is not automatic, but given how little is actually
stored in the LTSP chroot, it's probably not so critical to upgrade it
regularly.

The full process is described in the cookbook here:
