Canonical has announced the availability of the second update to the Ubuntu 14.04 product line. I am swearing off Dell again, once and for all. The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. The level of customer service I received after the sale was appalling. It was great the whole month and a half I had to use it before it stopped being compatible with the updates to 64 bit Ubuntu. Ive tried installing Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS today from a DVD and from a thumb drive. I had previously sworn off Dell, after bad customer service, but when I saw they came out with this Ubuntu laptop, I thought I wanted to support their effort by buying and using one. Youll need to upgrade the kernel to 3.18 or 3.19 which isnt too hard. I received no support from Dell, but I did get lots of aggravation talking to and emailing with the clowns they hired in India.

Upgrades from one LTS to the next LTS release are only available after the first point release. However, this is not recommended for production server. So right now ( June 15 ) we have to use -d option to force upgrade. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS upgrades will be enabled only after the 16.04.1 LTS point release is released on July 21st 2016.

I need to add more software and test it more. sudo apt-get install update-manager-core. Many of you, like me, would like to upgrade your kernel. I have just installed 32 bit Ubuntu 14.04.03 and it runs ok after updates, other than the trackpad doesn't work. Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, the second point release for the LTS version, was released last week. I ended up buying a faster hard drive, and after running updates on a fresh install of stock Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, I got kernel panics on restarts.
