A. Ubuntu 7.10 is the current version of the Ubuntu operating system. You can only directly upgrade to Ubuntu 7.10 (“Gutsy Gibbon”) from Ubuntu 7.04 (“Feisty Fawn”). First apply all updates by Clicking System > Administration > Update Manager > Check Only apply updates
Once all updates installed, click on System > Administration > Update Manager > Check > A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release
Click on Upgrade button > follow the on-screen instructions.

Look like remote server is down or overload. Make sure your firewall is configured properly to allow outgoing http request.

Using the command line run:
