Hello

I've just installed kubuntu and notice that an updated ubuntu gets released next week which means that I have a couple of questions.

Will kubuntu be released at the same time?

And, is it fairly simple to upgrade?

Seeing as I've not had kubuntu for long I don't mind doing a complete fresh install. At the moment I have my computer dual booting with XP.

The linux setup has partitions for:

/
/home
swap




Cheers

The upgrade should be listed in Update Manager when the 8.10 is posted on the Kubuntu web site. It should say: New distribution release '8.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

You can upgrade online that way so you don't need to download a new .iso image and burn a cd.

Ignore everything I just said. I did a search for upgrading to 8.10 Kubuntu.

This is the way to upgrade to Kubuntu 8.10 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu
