upgrade question

[trixman]

i would like to upgrade my 10.04 ububutu via the update manager.

the next upgrade is 10.10

can i just keep upgrading via the update manager to the latest LTS this way

in no real hurry 10.04 is solid until next year, just wanted to know.

thanks

Yes you can do it this way if desired. If you want to end up at 12.04 though that is a lot of upgrades, each of which could fail.

I'd recommend waiting for the 12.04.1 release to come out in a month or so. The LTS upgrade will then show up in Update Manager (LTS) and you can do one upgrade to the next LTS.

Either way you go, I'd recommend making an image of your current OS prior to the upgrade so you can revert should things not work out to your liking.

.

in other words you can upgrade directly from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS.
