Upgrading from Ubuntu

Another option available is to "upgrade" from an existing Ubuntu install. This method is more involved and requires installing additional packages along with modifying some configurations.

It is possible to also selective install various facets of Ubuntu Studio as required. These might include:

• lowlatency kernel - installs the lowlatency kernel to improve latency for realtime applications

• audio meta-package - install all the Ubuntu Studio audio packages

• video meta-package - install all the Ubuntu Studio video packages

• graphics meta-package - install all the Ubuntu Studio graphic packages

• desktop meta-package - install the Ubuntu Studio desktop, menu and theme

It is also possible to selective upgrade applications by categories, e.g. audio effects, real-time kernel, etc.
