hallo~
I'm not sure if this is where this goes or not, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

Do y'all know how I can update Ubuntu- and if it would require wiping everything? I'm not going to update if it means losing my data [I don't really have a way to back up], but I've had this particular version since about this time last year, and I'd like to be a tad more up-to-date.

I tried installing the ubuntu metapackage stuff or whatever, and it spits out:

Quote:
kandace@Sister:~$ sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop

What's this neutral ?

You using GNOME or KDE or X? If you have gnome you don't have to do it.

No, I got Ubuntu the day after they went to 6.06 so I didn't have to do it. But many people have done it on the linux forums

Um, there's no way she's not using the X Server.

OP; Ubuntu Updater(the built in one) should have a window pop up every now and then to tell you A: there's new updates(and you should install them) and B: there's a new version of Ubuntu out. It should have a link you can follow to upgrade to 6.06.

Thats XFce. Not "X enviornment". Saying so still implies that she uses the X server, which there is no way that she doesn't(I rarely see people that don't use it. And they're only advanced users, at that).
