So I have been trying to read around about how to upgrade from the terminal. I am actually SSHing through putty to do all this. Anyways.. I first tried sudo apt-get update but since Jaunty is expired I needed to update my sources.
I updated my sources and apt-get update started to work. I then tried apt-get upgrade, and that resulted in some sort of dependency error. I then read apt-get dist-upgrade seems to make it work correctly. So it started installing a whole bunch of things before it got stuck. So finally the error message reads:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
When I try to individually install any of the above dependancies, it sort of throws me in a circle. I try installing one or multiple of them and then I get other dependency complains and I try to add or fix those and the other ones complain.
