I've installed Julia via Ubuntu Software-Center, so it installed v0.2.1, months ago. To switch to v0.3, do I have to remove that installation and install the new version with the (Linux) package manager, or is there a gentler way? Probably, there isn't, and what will happen to IJulia etc.? I guess I'll have to re-install that, too, with the Julia package manager, is that correct?
