On: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Release Candidate

[div]

Should be possible via update-manager soon enough. Even major upgrades (6.04 -> 7.04 etc) have been possible for a year or two at least.

Minor niggle: it was 6.06; they delayed that release by two months in preparation for their very first LTS release.

And another one: you can upgrade 6.06 (a Long Term Support release) directly to 8.04 (the next Long Term Support release), but to get to 7.04 you had to do incremental upgrades to every intermediate release (6.06 -> 6.10 -> 7.04).
