Kubuntu 12.04 released. Upgrade or Install afresh?

I am very impatient to test the new Kubuntu 12.04 which is a Long Term Release version i.e. it will be supported for 5 years. It is supposed to be hyper stable 🙂

However, i haven’t taken the decision whether to upgrade my current Kubuntu or to wipe my partition and install afresh. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, we can’t download the .iso file and upgrade from it offline as it tried when upgrading to Kubuntu 11.10. They really need to add this option in Kubuntu installation (or maybe they did it already in this version?).

Anyways, i am very busy this week as i have exams starting soon. I don’t think i’ll be able to afford to wipe my current installation and reconfigure it as awesome as it is now:-

I think i’ll upgrade to Kubuntu 12.04 from the software center for now and later when my exams finish, i’ll do a fresh install.

Problem solved ^_^

  1. Hello.

    I moved to Kubuntu so many times but after some weeks, I fell back to Windows.
    I think that the unwillingness to spend time on finding how to do things in Linux makes me run away each time. We have been so used to windows but that is not an excuse.

    Okay, I will install Kubuntu again, soon…

  2. You can upgrade Ubuntu/Kubuntu by using .iso file. However, you need to download the alternate install (alternate CD) instead of the regular one.
