Lubuntu-users Digest, Vol 38, Issue 18

[Steven Duckworth]

 Re: Lubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04.2 now available

Will this version be available via automatic updates, or do we have to
downlaod it through a link?
And: if I wish to change from 14.04.1.LTS to 15.04 what is the easiest way
to do it?

Thanks,
Steve
