Question about 10.04 Release Candidate

[stephenmurdoch]

I'm going to upgrade to 10.04 and since the final version is not ready for a few more days, I am thinking of installing the Release Candidate.

If I do install the Release Candidate, will I still have to install the Final Version once it's released or will there be some kind of automatic update available when it's hits May 1st that will upgrade the Release Candidate to the Final Version?

Nope, the RC will update itself to the release once that's out (through the package manager). You'll just have to download and install it once and then the updates will roll in.

No you won't need to install again unless you wanted to. The full release is the 29th April, by using Update Manager you will probably have the full release before most people
