The impending release of Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat)

Hi, As you may be aware, the next LTS release of Ubuntu is supposed to be ready in a couple of days. I've tested a do-release-upgrade from a basic 22.04 cloud image (what you get when you install 22.04 at BitFolk) and it seemed to go fine. As usual with this sort of thing though, all the complexity is in the packages you have installed, so that is no promise that it would be plain sailing for you. We will try to get a Xen Shell installer option added for 24.04 as soon after release as we can, but in the mean time just installing 22.04 and then typing "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" should get you there. I *think* it is the case that you need the "-d" as do-release-upgrade normally doesn't like doing it until the first point release.
