Voordat je de bestaande server installatie kunt upgraden moet de /etc/apt/sources.list aangepast worden.

De sources.list moet de volgende regels bevatten.

#
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.

Vervolgens geef je het commando:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

gevolgd door

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Nadat de upgrade klaar is moeten de laatste linux-headers binnengehaald worden:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential

sudo apt-get  -f install

sudo dpkg –configure -a

Mocht je op de ubuntu server VMware Server, VMware Workstation of VMware Player hebben geïnstalleerd,
Dan moet je deze helaas opnieuw installeren. Dit is nodig omdat de Linux kernel aangepast word.

VMware heeft een aantal modules die in de Kernel worden geïnstalleerd en vervolgens dus ook niet meer werken.

!Let op VMware Server 1.01 werkt nog niet goed op Ubuntu Server 6.10
