Is the update for a point release automatic or should I download and install?

  • 772

Through "System Settings" > "Details", it says Ubuntu 12.04. I saw that a new version of 12.04-12.04.1-have been released.

Have "Update Manager" already update/upgrade my version? Or should I download and install?

Thanks for your Answers.

EDIT: Terminal:

ubuntu@CandyCanDoIt:~$ lsb_release -a

  1. Install updates using "Update Manager" is enough. It will install new added package in Ubuntu 12.04.1 for you. Be sure you Ubuntu is always update.
