Re: Upgrades?

I think you forgot to mention changing the repos before doing the

it's best to reference the official upgrade docs(mentioned in a couple
previous posts), because it seems that they recommend a new procedure.

something along these lines now:

sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade

which is nice because I think it allows the user to avoid having to edit
the apt sources file. nice!

Looks cool. Is this purely a command line interface, or does it require
a GUI? That is, can I ssh into a machine 300 miles away and invoke this?

Regards,
Tony.
