the safest way to do that upgrade is OTA (over the air). this only works when you haven't installed apps from testing/devel and have enough free space on your root partition.
the other way (which you are told to go when you haven't enough free space in app-manager) is connected to pc and using pc suite - for being more precise the nokia updater.
i would recommend you to NOT upgrade within the terminal, but if you want to:
you have to be root in terminal and then type:
BUT:
be careful with this one, link /var/cache/apt/archives to somewhere with enough space! OR YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
so this is the way to go:
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING EXACTLY - USE UPGRADE VIA APP-MANAGER OR PC SUITE!
DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE UPGRADING!

Please note - I upgraded to 51.1 with apt-get dist-upgrade. Even though I had 55MB free on the rootfs, the upgrade stopped in the middle due to lack of space and I needed to clear 20MB more, so it best not to try it unless you have more than 70MB free.
In addition, after apt-get dist-upgrade finished and I rebooted, application manager still offered me the upgrade to 51.1, which included 5MB of packages. Only after this, did my upgrade finish. I did not test if this last upgrade was also available with apt-get.
