Been doing "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to upgrade since Hoary-to-Breezy. Haven't upgraded to Gutsy yet. There won't be any problem with "apt-get dist-upgrade" as long as you're only using packages from the official repositories. The only time I messed up the upgrade was on Hoary-to-Breezy because I used the binary drivers from nVidia (the official one from nVidia, not from the official Ubuntu repository). I fixed it by manually editing configuration files, uninstalling the official nVidia drivers, and installing the one that came with Ubuntu (nvidia binary drivers). I had to install the latest binary drivers for Hoary because the binary nvidia drivers that came with Hoary did not yet include support for the 6600 series GPU. Anyway, for Feisty-to-Gutsy, the preferred method is to use the following: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core sudo do-release-upgrade Or if you want to do it from the GUI, follow inatructions from this URL: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading -- Gideon N.
