yes - I remember an issue with upgrading of the NZ site, and switched to
the main server.
Further, upgading one ubuntu box from the graphical environment is "ok",
as long as you
have the recovery options of (preferrably both)
*a live usb disk of the new image
*a second computer to use to google for answers
My view is that the most reliable upgrade option is to erase the drive
and start over.
/home is always on a second drive, which you take care not to erase in
the installation.

Ctrl -Alt t pops up a new terminal window
One of the most useful shortcuts I have come across.
