Upgrading
After spending yesterday upgrading WordPerfect, today was the monthly PMS Day [Patch MicroSoft – what did you think?] on two machines, and then I checked Linux and the new LTS [Long Term Support] version of Ubuntu was available on the Software Update page. I backed-up and pressed the ‘upgrade’ button.
After downloading well in excess of 800MB of compressed data that contained 1963 files I sat around a couple of hours as it went through the process.
There was only one problem – I should have removed some of the old versions of the Linux image from the boot partition to free up space.
There were a couple of errors on re-boot, but the only thing that doesn’t seem to want to work is a game that I use to distract myself when I hit a coding block [writer’s block for programmers].
Things went amazingly well given the potential for problems, and I didn’t have to do it by hand, which was a plus.
