hi, just wondering if i force intrepid to upgrade to jaunty using the 'update-manager -d' method, when the karmic koala early builds are released will it automatically upgrade to them too? as i wish to use jaunty but no pre releases after that, many thanks if anyone answers:)
also just wondering how stable jaunty now is?
Running update-manager -d only will add the repositories of the current development release to your sources, i.e. it won't proceed automatically to 9.10 once the repositories get online. For jaunty, on my PC it works fairly well, but I'd avoid directly upgrading your productivity system, but rather test it side by side. Especially if you need proprietary graphics drivers, you might run into some problems.
