When any type of software is in development, testing and feedback allow the developers to make improvements to the software or fix "'''bugs'''".Extensive testing must be performed before the "'''stable'''" version of software is released to the general public.

# '''Beta (build)''' - Version of software that passed "Alpha" testing stage, but testing to more individuals volunteers prior to releasing to publicrelease.

I recommend to wait until the a stable version becomes available. You can simply run the "'''Update Manager'''" (discussed above), and a notification will appear to ask the user to upgrade to that newer version.

If the release date is close, but you are very impatient, '''you can run a command to download and install the beta version'''. This method is not always highly recommendedto new-users, since there may still be bugs in the system, but will be corrected by future updates. It is <u>NOT</u> a good idea to upgrade to an Alpha version (there could still be major bugs to be resolved).
