[ubuntu-za] Interrupted Upgrade

[Douglas Ulyate]

Hi All,

When there is a new Distribution Release, I usually clear out my
Ubuntu partition, and install the new version in that.  Of course,
that is after backing up my documents, mail, bookmarks, and .deb files
where necessary.

Would running "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" be the better choice here?.

Regards,

Douglas
