I'm running Lucid Lynx and I would like to upgrade to the Meerkat version.
Which command can I use from the terminal to download and perform this upgrade?
I've tried sudo apt-get upgrade but that just seems to update any packages I have installed, and not the actual system itself

I believe it's sudo apt-get dist-upgrade but that didn't work for me.
Canonical says to just run update-manager and choose the Upgrade button on the topright ish of the window.

To upgrade system from the command line, use these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Unfortunately, that won't upgrade to the next release version. – jokerdino – 2012-07-14T06:02:23.193
update-manager -dwill upgrade to the current development version, not to 10.10 ! – JanC – 2010-10-30T22:42:21.243AFAIK, it just says that, but upgrades you to the final 10.10 anyway. – digitxp – 2010-10-31T13:58:33.377
1In any case, there is no reason to use the "-d" option and take the risk, as update-manager will provide the upgrade button by default if there is a new release available... – JanC – 2010-11-04T14:24:22.397
It's kinda odd then that a lot of the documentation floating around the web includes -d. – digitxp – 2010-11-05T00:54:37.703
