Hello,
I have Ultimate Edition 2.6 installed and have kept the updates current and would like to upgrade it to Ub 10.10. My Update Manager says it's available, but it gives it as Ubuntu 10.10, not Ultimate Edition anything. Since Ultimate Edition is a fairly highly modified version of Ubuntu, I'm wondering if it's ok to upgrade my Ultimate Edition 2.6 via the Update Manager's Upgrade protocol. Or would it be better to just install Ultimate Edition 2.8? If the latter is better, how do I do that preserving all my software & settings.
I suspect that it is ok and that Ubuntu's 10.10 upgrade protocol would leave all modifications in place, giving me an Ultimate Edition 2.6 version of 10.10, but I just wanted to check before borking my system in ignorance. I hope this isn't too dorky-stupid a question. Thanks.
Ray

not the way to do it unfortunately, Ultimate Edition is so customized that using the Ubuntu upgrade to 10.10 will loose all the special extras. I think you will want to back up your home folder and install 2.8, it's not that painful.

Thank you both. You've answered my question. That's exactly what I suspected and therefore why I'm glad I asked before trying the Ubuntu upgrade. Thank you again.
