Upgrading 16.04 beta 2 to 16.04 LTS



I was about to do a fresh install of 14.04 LTS, but I just saw that 16.04 will be released in less than a month. If I were to install 16.04 beta now, would it be easy to upgrade to the official release in April? Also, how stable is the current beta2 build? Is installing it substantially risky despite it being so late in the development cycle?



In my experience, the beta version of Ubuntu will either upgrade automatically to the release or ask you if you want to do so via the update manager, once the release comes out. But be warned: the updated version may be "eccentric" if you don't do a fresh install of the release version.
