Err, not much unfortunately.  I think the command under apt that you're 
looking for is 'apt-get update'.  Replace dist-upgrade with update, and 
it'll keep your local list of what's on the repo up to date.  For more info:
man apt-get
man mail

Also, the | takes the output of the stuff before it and sends it to 
what's after the | as STDIN.
