Con l’uscita di una nuova release gli utenti si trovano davanti ad un enorme dilemma: aggiornare il proprio computer al nuovo rilascio per provare le ultimissime feature o rimanere cauti aspettando i primi bugfix continuando ad usare la vecchia release disponibile?

Molti, avendo la fortuna di poter disporre di più computer o di un pc abbastanza potente e performante per poter far uso della virtualizzazione, non si porranno questo problema e procederanno subito all’aggiornamento. Questo breve articolo vi aiuterà ad effettuare l’upgrade del vostro computer nel modo più indolore possibile.

Le due vie percorribili sono le seguenti:

La prima è il download delle immagini ISO con masterizzazione del DVD (o “fabbricazione” di una pendrive) e successiva installazione tramite Live CD. Qualora i mirror siano sovraccarichi, o non vogliate servirvi di un CD, potrete optare per l’upgrade del vostro sistema pre-esistente tramite i seguenti comandi:

  • Assicuratevi che il vostro sistema sia aggiornato: “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  • Eseguite il vero e proprio passaggio di versione: “sudo update-manager -d
