Upgrading ARDI - Linux On Ubuntu-based systems, the user will need to login via a terminal/SSH in order to begin the upgrade process. An ARDI upgrade on a Linux system is effectively just an in-place re-installation. We suggest upgrading the system itself (for example, moving to the newest version of Ubuntu) before continuing.
