I was looking for a thread about upgrading... it was called something like 'Warning' and a poster proceeded to offer the experience after looking at apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade.
So, two questions: 1) where is that thread? 2) since, 13.04 is just around the corner (I think), I thought to use 'apt-get upgrade' after I install 12.10 for someone.
Or does anyone have any recommended steps?
Also, I might do the same with my system? It was installed around Nov. of last year. Or I should use 'dist-upgrade' soon for mine? It was my understanding that there's a bit less risk for things to go wrong, if you dist-upgrade when the next version is close(r) to release. Although, with rolling release distros, you should just dist-upgrade on a regular schedule but watching for any news or warnings issued by distro devs? Well, if you want to use the latest software.
I appreciate any advice and help (in advance). Thanks!
