Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 11 years and 6 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

My server upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) to the newly released 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) tonight was one of the smoothest for me in recent memory. The only problem I had this time around was an issue with ZoneMinder due to some “non-standard” symlinks I was using. Once I corrected those, the package upgraded without incident. The only other minor problem was due to the use of smbfs for my NAS mounts. I just had to switch the type to cifs in /etc/fstab and re-mount the shares. Now I’m set until Raring Ringtail next year.
