I have Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5 with ISPConfig 2.2.15. I'd like to upgrade to a recent version of Ubuntu (maybe 6.06). Is there anything I should consider other than running: apt-get upgrade ... as root? I'll perform a full backup, of course. Thanks, Antun
apt-get dist-upgrade would probably work better. That said, I've never heard of Ubuntu 4.0.3, 4.1 was the first version. 4.0.3-1ubuntu5 is the gcc compiler.
When I do: cat /proc/version ... I get: Linux version 2.6.15-26-server (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 SMP Fri Sep 8 21:00:37 UTC 2006 Is that the right way to tell what version OS I'm running? Thanks, Antun
It is indeed. Which says you are running Kernel 2.6.15-26. Which fortunately for you is already Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. You therefore definitely do NOT want to do a dist-upgrade, as that may well take you to one of the more recent, but shorter lived releases. This bit gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5) is simply gcc Gnu compiler info. Returning to the apt-get upgrade, you should be running this at regular intervals to get bug fixes and updates. Sequence is apt-get update to get the new repository files, then apt-get upgrade to fetch and install any relevant stuff for you machine. I normally run an update 1-2 times a week, but weekly or fortnightly is fine. Current 6.06 kernel is 2.6.15-28 (or at least it is on my main 6.06 server).
