A new version of Xubuntu is released every 6 months; the Update Manager should 
inform you when a new version is available for download. To check for a new 
version:
</p>
      <div class="procedure">
        <ol class="procedure" type="1">
          <li class="step" title="Step 1">

          <li class="step" title="Step 4">

    the list of available updates to be downloaded.
    </p>
          </li>
          <li class="step" title="Step 6">
            <p>
    If a new version of Xubuntu is available, a box at the top of the window 
    will appear saying that a new distribution release is available.
    </p>
          </li>
          <li class="step" title="Step 7">
            <p>
    To upgrade to the latest release, save all of your open documents and press 
    the <span class="guibutton"><strong>Upgrade</strong></span> button in <span class="application"><strong>Update Manager</strong></span>.
    </p>
          </li>
        </ol>

      <p>
Upgrades usually take a while to complete. Typically, around 700MB of packages 
must be downloaded and installed, although the actual figure will depend on how 
many packages are already installed on your computer.
</p>
      <p>
You can only upgrade to the latest Xubuntu release if you are running the second 
most recent release. If you have an older release, you must upgrade to the next 
release after that, and so on until you are running the most recent version. 
For example, users of version 9.04 would first have to upgrade to version 9.10 
before upgrading to version 10.04. An exception to this rule is with Long 
Term Support (<acronym class="acronym">LTS</acronym>) releases. You can upgrade directly from 
the previous LTS release to the current release.

    If you would like to install and test the latest development version of 
    Xubuntu before it is released, press <span class="keycap"><strong>Alt</strong></span>+<span class="keycap"><strong>F2</strong></span>, type 
    <strong class="userinput"><code>gksudo "update-manager -c -d"</code></strong> into the box and press 
    <span class="guibutton"><strong>Run</strong></span>. This will allow you to upgrade to the current 
    development release.

    Development releases often suffer from package breakages and other

    to fix these problems for yourself.
