How do I upgrade to the development release (aka. Ubuntu+1)?

I am currently running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS but I am wondering how can you update from 12.04 to 12.10? Do you need to download the cd or you can simply update it from the update manager? Thanks in advance!

Open Software Sources.

Switch to the Updates tab and set Notify me of a new Ubuntu version to For any new version. Press Alt+F2 and type in update-manager -d (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '12.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.
