I am new to ubuntu and inherited the support of an Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS box.
on that computer there was never an upgrade executed.
now I am a bit afraid to just apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.
will that work after all these years?
Upgrading to 8.04 is supported, see
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades>
From 8.04 you can either upgrade to 8.10 and 9.04 (I don't recommendthis) or wait for the next LTS release.
the computer is half a continent away, so I can not just walk over if the
upgrade bombs. (and it would probably be the end of my new assignment ..).
so what do you recommend?
As 6.06 server is supported until June 2011 I'd wait with the
upgrade until you are a bit more familiar with Ubuntu.
