yeah.

btw the upgrade manager will ask you if you want to download new updates while upgrading if you choose [COLOR="Red"]YES[/COLOR] it will download the new software updates & if you choose [COLOR="Red"]NO[/COLOR] you need to run this command after upgrade is done to update you software.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
