I have choosen Ubuntu 13.04 for my Free VPS, but I have tried to upgrade to the latest 13.10 but it seems do nothing: apt-get dist-upgrade won't do the magic!

Is there any block on this?

Also "do-release-upgrade" doesn't work, it says: Could not load list of meta packages: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory FATAL -> Failed to fork.

Not enough memory?

I guess we'll have to wait for the OS template.

yes, it seems so. I have stopped all services like apache, mysql and others and I was able to upgrade. (before to upgrade you must install pyton-apt otherwise the upgrade will give you an error and won't proceed)
