On Saturday I have to remove Ubuntu 8.04 from 5 machines and install Ubuntu 9.04 simply because upgrading Open Office is not possible in Linux.
#apt-get upgrade
For better mnanagement of packages we have package management systems(apt) in GNU/Linux distributions .
'apt-get upgrade' will only upgrade installed packages to their latest version, within the scope of the existing distro.
'apt-get dist-upgrade' will upgrade your distro to the latest version. As mentioned in my earlier replies, I don't trust this process for long term peace of mind and body.
