“If you are currently using Ubuntu 10.04 and are interested in
10.10 you have choices – you can burn yourself an ISO and do
a complete, fresh installation, OR you can upgrade using apt-get
without having to bother with a re-installation. Of course I should
warn you that, as of this writing, Ubuntu 10.10 is still in beta.
That doesn’t mean you have to avoid the upgrade. It does, however,
mean you run the risk of not everything working correctly. But if
you are all-too-antsy to get that precious 10.10 on your
machine…the task is actually quite simple.

“In this article I am going to show you how to, from both the
GUI and from the command line. After you are finished, you should
have a working version of Ubuntu 10.10 beta. Of course, as 10.10
comes out of beta you can continue to update and have a full
released version in no time.”
