Hi,

On a very slow laptop of a friend I installed a while ago xubuntu.
Now, it says a new version is available: 8.04 LTS

Did I install the LTS version?
Can I switch to the normal?

Thanks!
Nathan

Hi LonelyStar.

If you click System> administration> system monitor> system it will tell you which version is installed.

The LTS is rock solid stable, so don't worry.

Hi,

But I want 9.04! Some things are not working, and I have seen them fixed by upgrading to 9.04.

It does not give me the choice of an upgrade, is there anything I can do?

Thanks!

Oh, o.k.

I think you have to upgrade to 8.10, and then to 9.04

There is a guide for doing that.

Another option is to burn a 9.04 disk, and install.
