I just want to know how to Upgrade to 11.04 when it becomes a stable release. I know there is a command for it, but I forget what exactly it is. Thanks!

Wait for that time for full release notes and instructions they will be easy to find . Though some current upgrade instructions may be applicable there is no to know that now.

You could search and find out how the 11.04 testers are currently upgrading. This will most likely change by the final release.

Normally the update manager will show that there is a new version available and give you the option to upgrade.

That being said I would recommend backing up and doing a clean install (This goes for any OS really).

It is best to back up your /home before doing an upgrade, just in case something doesn't work with your configuration.

You should update your current version before upgrading.

You can upgrade using the command

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
