Hi:

I'm a new user of Kubuntu and have just installed the Karmic 9.10 Release Candidate available since 10/22. My question is this:

Do I have to download again and reinstall when the official version comes out tomorrow? Or can I just get all the bugs fixed by Software Management (updating)? Thank you so much!

You do not have to reinstall. It will be an update.

Don't expect a landslide of upgrades though...things don't change that much from RC to Final.
Up-to-date RC (or alpha or beta) is still the same as the final version.
