UPGRADE LINUX MINT 15 TO 16

HOW TO UPGRADE THE LINUX MINT 15 TO LINUX MINT 16
To upgrade, First, open a terminal and run this command to check repositories
    inxi -r

This will show you your full repositories configuration, showing you which repositories are configured in which file. Note the files to edit from below tip and edit those files as root (`sudo nano filename`).
 
deb http:/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse

The word raring here denotes the distribution name for the Ubuntu package base used by Linux Mint 15. On any line where the word "raring" is there, replace it with "saucy". On any line where instead the word "olivia" is there, replace it with "petra". That's it.

Afterwards you run the command:
    apt update && apt dist-upgrade
