Ubuntu 10.10 is the latest version of the Ubuntu operating system. This version of Ubuntu operating system is released recently on 10/10/2010. The common name given to this release is "Maverick Meerkat". The installation of Unbuntu is genally performed with the Live Unbuntu CD. The Unbuntu Operating System can directly run from that CD. Unbuntu currently supports to Intel x86, AMD64
To installed the Ubuntu 10.10 version you have to just follow the following simple steps:

1. For installing you just have Ubuntu 10.10 Bootable CD. If you don’t have any Bootecle CD then you can download and burn the ISO file on CD. To Download the Unbuntu you can visit the official site. Ubuntu 10.10.
2. After that you can Boot the system from the CD-ROM drive.
3. After that it will prompt you to select the language. After you have select the language the installation process will begins by asking for your keyboard layout.
4. n the main Boot menu there are some additional options to install Ubuntu Server Edition. You can install a basic Ubuntu Server, or install Ubuntu Server.
5. Afterwards the installer discovers the hardware configuration, and configures the network settings using DHCP. You can also do this network setting by choosing the option "Configure the network manually". After that, you have to enter the system's hostname and Time Zone. You can then choose from several options to configure the hard drive layout.
6. After that the Ubuntu base system is installed.
7. After the installing get complete a new user is setup; this user will have root access. After the user is setup, you have to encrypt your home directory.

This way you can installed the Ubuntu 10.10. I hope this will help you.

For updating Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 10.10 I don’t think you have needed any Boot CD. You can easily upgrade over the network. For updating over network then you have to just follow the following procedure.

2. Then from Software Sources application select the sub menu Updates .
3. After that change the Release Upgrade drop down to "Normal Releases" after that you just have to close the application
4. Press Alt-F2 and type update-manager
5. Then for new updates click on the “Check” button to check.
6. Then use the Install Updates button to install them if there are any updates to install, , and press “Check” button again after installation is get complete.
7. A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release.
8. Click Upgrade and after that you just have to follow the on-screen instructions.
