After looking at the /etc/apt/sources.list file there was a little blurb in the header to check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes.  I clicked on the 7.10 Upgrade path which then had a section on server upgrades.

The link is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#head-f2435a45758bb5836f8e5b87e90045463f8c6ec7 fyi

Subject: [nmglug] Upgrading a server version of Ubuntu.

I'm running about 13 machines in my garage.  They are running Ubuntu-Gutsy server version and BOINC.  One of the machines is mirroring the ubuntu site so that apt-get dist-upgrade is a pretty painless and fast process across the machines.

Ubuntu wiki states that to upgrade to a newer version (hardy for instance) you would run "update-manager -d".  I thought I would try it but it turns out update-manager is an X app and I'm not interested in installing X on any of these machines.

A command line alternative short of updating all of the /etc/apt/sources.list files on each machine?

Thanks

Tim

btw, I know that there is a command line to replace all occurances of "gutsy" with "hardy" in /etc/apt/sources.list but it escapes me.  Anybody???
