Niloc Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have a desktop and a laptop. I started out with Ubuntu 5, ordered 6 which arrived OK. I then moved on to Ubunto 7.04 which I installed on the laptop and it works great. I would like to upgrade the desktop from 6 to 7.4 but it is such a pain to reinstall all the applications I have already and had to install again on the laptop, does anyone know how to upgrade from 6 to 7.4 without reformatting the hard drive? Good old Windows despite its faults allows you to upgrade versions without reinstalling everything, why not Linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can too, and not only Ubuntu! I just upgrade a server via ssh simply by typing: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade In your case, better use the GUI: gksudo 'update-manager -c' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
