How To: Upgrade To Ubuntu Dapper (Do It)
Ubuntu Dapper was originally pegged for release in April, but is now set for June. However, it’s already stable (in my experience), and markedly better than Breezy. Here’s a brief guide to upgrading. This assumes you’re already running [*]Ubuntu Breezy, like any sane computer user.
First, ideally your hard disk is partioned such that /home has its own partition. The point of this is that if you screw up your base install, you won’t lose any of your data or settings, and can just do a new install on top of the existing.
Next, download the Breezy install CD if you don’t have it already. This is so that you can rollback if need be.
