Ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 dist-upgrade successful
No sooner than me installing Ubuntu Dapper Drake (version 6.06) that Ubuntu Edgy Eft (version 6.10) get released. Fortunately, you can upgrade to the new version quite simply.
To be noted, there have been numerous problems experienced by people choosing to do the upgrade, rather than doing a clean install. But considering that my laptop was still a "stock" setup, I decided to take a stab at the upgrade process.
I just entered the command:
gksu "update-manager -c"
at the terminal and told Ubuntu to upgrade. About an hour and a half later, and two reboots, I was up and going just fine.
Seems that most problems experienced by those trying to upgrade are due to the following reasons:
1) Changing repositories from the default in /etc/apt/sources.list
2) This reason
