If I let the Update Manager upgrade the Ubuntu 11.04 to Ubuntu 11.10 while using Zorin OS, will I still have the Zorin OS Interface, or will it resort to default Ubuntu interface? I am running Zorin Core OS 5.2 and really enjoy this OS and would hate to loose it.

Hi!
No, do not do the distribution upgrade. Your system will be scrambled.
Zorin does not work in this way. You cannot upgrade to later versions. You can only perform clean installations.
So, if you want to "upgrade" to a later version, you would have to wait for Zorin 6 final to be released, do a back-up of your precious files, and then carry out a clean installation of Zorin 6 (formating Zorin 5).
Just to be sure that you don't have a problem in the future, go to your update manager settings and set to "never" the distribution upgrades.

OK, great. Thanks for the info. I thought that was the case, and just wanted to be sure.
