Doesn't Linux Mint provide an upgrade facility for you? Looks to me that you have gone with the wrong distro of choice. ;) Upgrading by using apt is doable, but from what you've demonstrated about your knowledge, I wouldn't recommend it to you. > So the question is how to update kernel and everything else? http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2 If your /home is on a separate partition, just download the latest LTS iso and do a fresh install. Only thing to note is that when it comes to partitioning, you must absolutely not destroy your /home unless you want your personal files gone. :) Iain.
