Yes, do-release-upgrade. That's a good one to know. I usually just choose it from the update manager window, but I am using X. So here's a question -- to upgrade to the latest version, must one upgrade to each intermediate version in between? For example, I have a machine with Ubuntu 10.10... $ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l ...(in case anyone forgot how to tell the release version), and if I want to upgrade to 13.04 in a few weeks, do I have to go through 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 and 12.10 first?
