11.14.06
This tutorial shows how to upgrade form Ubuntu Dapper to Ubuntu Edgy on a Ubuntu server.

This tutorial is a documentation of my processes for building a home server. The following was taken verbatim from a web tutorial published origainally at http://www.debianadmin.com/upgrade-ubuntu-dapper-to-ubuntu-edgy-eft.html




Upgrade from Ubuntu Dapper to Ubuntu Edgy Using apt-get - Ubuntu Server

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list as root. Change every occurrence of dapper to edgy.

Use any prefered editor. If you have a CD-ROM line in your file, then remove it.

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

or

use the following Simple command

sudo sed -e ’s/\sdapper/ edgy/g’ -i /etc/apt/sources.list

Now you need to update the source list using the following command

sudo apt-get update

Upgrade using the following command

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Double check your process was finished properly using the following commd

sudo apt-get -f install

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Now you need to Reboot your machine to take your new ubuntu 6.10 installation to effect all changes.
