Tip of the Day - Fiesty to Gusty Ubuntu Server Upgrade
Well we upgraded this server to Gusty yesterday and it went without a hitch except for one problem.
First if you haven't seen how to upgrade Ubuntu Server from Feisty Fawn to Gutsy Gibbon check out this site: Gusty Upgrades. Its an extremely simple process.
The only problem we had is that the upgrade failed on upgrading the package clamsmtp. I have no idea why and there was no meaningful error displayed. All I did after it failed was to remove the clamsmtp package (we don't use it anymore anyways), and then I ran apt-get autoremove to remove a few packages there were marked for removal. Lastly just to make sure everything was upgraded, I did also run apt-get dist-upgrade but there were no more packages to upgrade.
Your milage is likely to vary if your upgrade fails, but it seemed for me that the system was in stable condition after the failure, and after a quick restart this was verified.
Overall Ron and I are very pleased with the upgrade process and with Gusty Gibbon.
Bravo Ubuntu.
