I think someone already said this but here it is again.......


open a terminal type

sudo update-manager -d

enter you password, and at the top of the update manager it will say " a
new release is available click here to upgrade" or something like that.

remember this is a beta release, its not final, you may have problems.

most people are reporting no problems, including me.... but... better
safe than sorry.... back up /home or any other important info to a usb
drive or something.  good luck.
