Hi everyone. I'm a new Windows technician and have been an Ubuntu/Linux enthusiast for the past 10 years. I wanted to upgrade my Ubuntu 16.10 to Zesty Zapus, released today. So I booted my Ubuntu install, launched the update manager, and where it usually prompts me for a new version, ... nothing! First thing that came to my mind was running "update-manager -d" but before I typed that I remembered it upgraded to an unstable version. I checked on Ubuntu zesty's release notes and found the "update-manager -c" to force the upgrade to a stable version and something else. I tried them all, but all failed. I ended up doing update-manager -d anyway, which immediately began the upgrade to zesty. Quick question: will I have the "regular" zesty or will I be in an unstable zesty? If yes, what should I do?

Thanks in advance.

You will have the "regular" zesty. There is currently no development branch.

Thanks for the reply. I knew there was none development branch at the moment, which made me do The jump. But I read so many warnings against that particular command, I worried.
