Hi,

Just a quick question about Ubuntu.

I've just got v6.10 and am burning it to CD at the moment.

Once I have installed it I will do all the updates that it says are available etc.

If, for example, v7 came out tomorrow would I get the updated components through the auto-update or would I need to re-download the whole CD image?

Thanks,
Craig.
 
yes you will have the option to upgrade via the package manager

The next version is likely to be 7.04 (7 is the year, 04 is the month ;) ) as it has followed a pattern for a while with the exception of the Dapper Drake version

each update is technically the same "size" as it follows the date format rather than the major.minor versioning. but yeah, it's not out until april so it's a while yet.
 
The Feisty Fawn (7.04) betas are already available to download if you burn them to CD (kubuntu ones anyway, I cant find the Ubuntu ones)

Have they done a whole make over on 7.04 then? Maybe I'll just wait until official release rather than getting beta now.
 
please don't use feisty as anything approaching reliable, it's still in alpha. all the disruptive updates are still to come (bulletproof x, accelerated graphics etc). having said that, i'm running it on a seperate partition and it's coming along nicely aready :)
