I installed an Ubuntu alpha or beta and have been keeping it up to date.   So, Should I presume that my system has automatically updated to the next alpha or beta, and will be running the official release when it's finished?

A dilemma probably faced by quite a few DBAs. Does one upgrade to the latest version, in this case SQL SERVER 2016, or play it safe and upgrade to 2014, which hopefully has most bug fixes in place by now?  I will only be upgrading in Standard Edition and from what I've read there isn't much between 14 &amp; 16 in terms of functionality, enterprise is a different story.  The only things of interest to me at the moment in 2016 are probably the query store features and possibly the tabular BI stuff.  I have read 2016 does use fewer resources and depending on the tasks it executes faster, which is obviously a big bonus.  At the moment I am leaning towards 2016 as opportunities to upgrade are few and far between, just worried about potential bugs and applying them in 24/7 up time environment with no maintenance window.  Would be great to hear if anyone else has faced the same/similar upgrade path, and ultimately what decision they took.  I will probably get a down vote as there is no right answer...but its a question that must be asked a lot..

I keep receiving the following notification about new updates:    If I then run the Software Updater, however, I don't receive any of these updates on Ubuntu 16.04.    Does someone have the same problem?

Why are some updates called Important security updates?  How are they different from other updates?  Is my system insecure, If I don't install them?  How can there be very frequent security updates?  Does it mean my Ubuntu is very unstable or insecure?

Currently I'm running opensuse 13.2 and I want to update it to a (ubuntu)linux with the newest kernel the 4.9.xy release as mentioned at .   Is the latest kernel 4.9.xy version available for Ubuntu?  or - Can I update this - after having installed Ubuntu without any risk of crashes? I'm updating my kernel regularly as provided by the Update Manager..  Is  there a way to install Ubuntu - and afterwards easily upgrade to the newest kernel?

The last release was Natty Narwhal (Letter N) for the 11.04. Then it was Oneiric Ocelot (Letter O) for the 11.10. This time, the newest one will be Precise Pangolin (Letter P) for the 12.04.  At this pace, what will happen when Ubuntu gets to Z? Will it start with numbers (007 Edition), will it start with double letters (AA Battery), or will it start from the beginning (Amazing Apple)? What will happen?

Anyway....there is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the normal 12.10 version. Is that the same with Lubuntu? On their site, for some reason, they seem to be promoting the 12.10 version while for me an LTS is always more appealing. I am wondering if they have the same ideology as the Ubuntu team.  UPDATE: Is it okay to talk about Lubuntu here at all? I understand that it is a flavour of Ubuntu...but still. Are they 2 very different teams?

The update from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 LTS does not work it keeps showing me an error as could not calculate the upgrade, even when I want it to get updated from the terminal it says the same error. I did not use the beta its the final Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.I have restarted my laptop for like 5-10 times no change. Disabling the software sources also does not help.

On a Lenovo laptop, I want to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 18.10 (budgie).  When I select upgrade on the update manager, the dialog box disappears and nothing happens. The upgrade doesn't start.  Note- I went through the same procedure this morning on my other laptop and Ubuntu successfully upgraded.   do-release-upgrade fails to upgrade and throws this error:  Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.   What can I do to upgrade the system successfully?

I've upgraded my LTS version of Ubuntu to Ubuntu 17.04 and from the day I've upgraded I've been struggling to get this thing stable. Sometimes my Wifi adapter doesn't work properly and sometimes I can't even copy things properly.  So I want to revert back to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.  Is there any way to get this done?

I'm on an old Ubuntu version (Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS Server) which isn't really supported any more. So the automatic updates don't work. I have ISPConfig installed to manage a few web sites.  What's the best course of action? I'd like to upgrade to something current, but I can't figure out how to go about doing this, given that the apt-get scripts don't really work any longer.
