Upgrading Ubuntu versions

Hi Friends, back with a new blog for newbies...
If its a linux system then its really not a magic that you can upgrade your OS version easily to newer one, all you need is a smooth internet connection. You can do this either using command-line (which I prefer, as now 'm not much interested in watching nice graphics while installing OS) or by Update-manager.
Ok here is the procedure-


Terminal:
1. Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
2. Launch the upgrade tool:
sudo do-release-upgrade
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

and the version will be upgraded :)



Update Manager: 

1.  Start System/Administration/Update Manager

2. Click the Check button to check for new updates.

3. If there are any updates to install, use the Install Updates button to install them, and press Check again after that is complete.

4. A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release.
