After I sent the email, I continued to do some more investigation, and am presently downloading the OS's needed to upgrade from 12.04 to 13.10 (or 12). I was hoping to be able to remain on 12.04 for its LTS. Oh well, that's life in the boonies. Thanks for this useful tool - especially of those of us living out of the mainstream, down in the far south of Africa where our device choice is much more limited.
