Upgrade Mint Linux from v15 (Olivia) to v16 (Petra)

First and foremost, compliments to TecMint.com for their How-To on the Mint upgrade. I’m posting my experience and results here.

Simple Upgrade:

$ sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/' /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo sed -i 's/olivia/petra/' /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list
$ sudo sed -i 's/olivia/petra/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list

Then do this:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Wait until it’s done, reboot and enjoy the new petra minty goodness
