As I was trying to clean my desk up a little bit, I came across an unmarked CD, which as it turns out is a burned copy of the Kubuntu 5.10 Release Candidate.
After mounting the CD, apparently Ubuntu autodetects the fact that it is an Ubuntu cdrom and offers to either launch the package manager (for easy package installation) or auto-upgrade your current system.
I’ve never noticed this before because I typically keep my system up to date with incessant ‘apt-get upgrade’ or dist-upgrades. But I can certainly appreciate Ubuntu’s attempt at making upgrades that much easier for those users who are either less technically inclined or simply don’t have the bandwidth to support over-the-network upgrades.
