Hello, I am a new user of the system and I couldn't find any docs about upgrading 5.0 to 5.5. Is it even possible at this point? Can I upgrade using a DVD? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I.

That is because 5.5 is not released yet.

This is probably something volunteers could be working on. Somewhere we have a wiki on things like this.

Looks like this is it:

Here is an example of the process although it is slightly different for Trisquel (given the changes to the UI):

It is quite easy. You basically just have to start the update manager and provided there is a new version available (5.5 is not yet final) it'll appear as an upgrade (vs update which just provides security fixes).

Yeah, and there should also be a way to upgrade directly, using CD/DVD too, like on Ubuntu (this is one of the important features missing in Trisquel up to these days).

It should work by replacing in /etc/apt/sources.list , 'dagda' with
'brigantia' and then do a 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'.

However, since Brigantia it is not released yet, it would be better to wait
for the actual release before upgrading.
