Upgrading from Karmic to Lucid Desktop i386

Upgrading standard desktop version takes about 2 hours on a trusty old Dell 2650 server. Got the message that bluetooth and a bunch of other packages are no longer supported by the Ubuntu team. Presume this is mostly just package restructuring – bluetooth is in the linux kernel as I understand it.

TIP: to enable the official Sun Java JDK on Lucid Linux you have to enable the partner repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Then you can simply

aptitude install sun-java6-jdk

as normal.
