FocalUpgrades page - request for help in reviewing

[Lukasz Zemczak]

Hello ubuntu-doc!

With the Beta next week, I have created
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FocalUpgrades for 20.04, basing on
the one we had for bionic. Could you please take a look and see if
there's anything there that would need updating?

Thank you!

Cheers,

Thanks for that document! One thing struck me when I reviewed it:

For previous LTS releases, the prompt about the availability of the new
release has been delayed a bit; if I recall it correctly it showed up
only around the .1 point release rather than at final release. If that
will be the case also for 20.04, I can think that it should be mentioned
in that document.

Since servers are mostly operated from remote, does it make sense to add a
recommendation to use "screen" (or similar) in case of updating Ubuntu
Server from remote - in the "Ubuntu Servers (Recommended)" section?

Bye, Frank

The upgrade procedure will warn users about the potential
loss of SSH anyhow.

But it wouldn't hurt to emphasize.

Myself, I have never had a problem with remote upgrades.
(I never use screen.)

By the way, I had the same observation as Gunnar about the .1
release.

Hi Lukasz,
Would it be a good idea to add that, alternatively, one may use the
command "sudo apt-get update" in the terminal before upgrading to 20.04?
