[xubuntu-users] Upgrade advice

[Teresa Binstock]

My Acer 1410 (64 bit, 4G ram) ran Ubuntu 10.04 nicely, but 12.04 and 
Unity were too much that I didn't need. Xubuntu 12.04 is running nicely 
and hosts a major project of mine. Nonetheless, this upgrade thread 
makes me curious. What is the minimal way to update to some of 12.10? 
Perhaps utech or someone else could elaborate - eg, how to install the 
PPAs utech mentioned.
