Frist let me say hello to everyone since I'm new to this forum,also if I post this question in the wrong sections I apologize.

I have recently started using Ultimate Edition 2.4 I previously used sidux. I really enjoy this distro and it works well. I see that Ultimate Edition 2.5 is now availiable for download and I wasn't sure how to upgrade to the new version "apt-get update or dist-upgrade" if possible or will I have to reinstall my o/s from the live disc? One last thing will this procedure be the same when ubuntu changes to the next version.

hey look its saddletramp!

@OP i always clean install. back it up and go. Also, if you want to look into it, try putting your /home folder on a seperate partition... i have done this in the past.
