Upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10 or Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
To upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 or Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release ‘12.04' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.
To upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 or Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a server system: install the update-manager-core package if it is not already installed; launch the upgrade tool with the command sudo do-release-upgrade -d; and follow the on-screen instructions. Note that the server upgrade is now more robust and will utilize GNU screen and automatically re-attach in case of e.g. dropped connection problems.

I’ll be very happy when Ubuntu finally comes out complete instead of needing updates months after release of stable. Doubt they will ever.
Any open source tha does not changes contantly, is not open or is abandoned… I love the updates… to me means someone is pushing the product close to perfection.
