It gets you the next version, whatever that is.  Since 14.04 is currently the only next version right now, you would get that.  You could always cancel the upgrade if you see that you are going to be downloading the Uy U-animal version whatever they are going to call it.

Try: sudo do-release-upgrade -dp

I tried man do-release-upgrade and got this:

-d, --devel-release Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is
possible

-p, --proposed Try upgrading to the latest release using the upgrader
from Ubuntu-proposed

Will these options get me the version that's meant to be released or
some beta version?

If that doesn't work try changing your repository location in
/etc/apt/sources.list from us.archive.ubuntu.com to just
archive.ubuntu.com and then run sudo do-release-upgrade -dp again...
just remember to change it back once the upgrade has finished,

Is there any advantage to using us.archive.ubuntu.com other than the
route to the server being shorter and hopefully faster?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Derek
