Upgrade 6.06

[emut]

Hi,

I have a box in production that is running on a older version of Ubuntu server.



admin@remote:/etc/samba$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.06
DISTRIB_CODENAME=dapper
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS"


Would it be advisable to upgrade? The main uses of the box are:

Samba, SSH, Squid, Apache, Smokeping, Postfix/Roundcube.

The hardware is an older Dell Poweredge 1600SC with 1Gb RAM.

You can upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04.3 LTS. Make sure dapper-updates is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list and run the following:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install update-manager-core -y
sudo do-release-upgrade
You shouldn't have any issues. As always, though, backup first.
