Ubuntu 16.04.2 HWE

[havenchaz]

Is there anything special i need to do to "get" this... my assumption is "no, it'll simply come to me via Update Manager once ready"?

Like said in the initial post you need to install it manually if you want it.
It won't come as normal update. Its an "opt-in" update. 

This thread caught my eye.  What is the opt-in update and how do I go about it?  I thought it would just update to the 16.04.2 base.

Thanks

Thanks to all.  I just realized that I have Kernel 4.9.5 installed.  I guess my follow-up question would be if I do this will my system be hosed.  It runs flawlessly and would hate to screw it up.


Thanks.  

Edit:  I like to live dangerously so I updated per the instructions and my system booted up no problem.  I never thought I would use a Plasma distro, but Maui has changed that!
