I have been avoiding doing this since everything is working well with Ubuntu 14 and it is supported until 2019. But I know that I will have to upgrade eventually.
Has the upgrade process gone smoothly or have there been any issues?
Did ssh still work afterwards?
Did the config for xdm stay intact?
Were there any driver problems, Nivida or AMD?
Today, I decided to do the upgrade from Ubuntu 14 to 16.
I ran this command while connected via ssh:
do-release-upgrade
(This took just under an hour to complete.)
(You will have to watch it since you will be asked some questions as it progresses. You will have to type a response like 'y' and then press Enter.)
It went smoothly with the exception of a network configuration that I forgot about.
I had been running a VM setup on my hashcat machine and I was using the virbr0 (virtual bridge) interface (/etc/network/interfaces). After the upgrade had completed, I rebooted and couldn't connect to my machine. My access point tells me which machines are considered "connected devices" and my Ubuntu hashcat system wasn't listed as a connected device. From that, I knew that I had a network configuration problem.
I rebooted into recovery mode, enabled networking, connected via ssh, and, as root, removed the entry for virbr0 from /etc/network/interfaces. After that, I rebooted again and was able to connect via ssh.
This was what the output was from 'ifconfig' before the configuration change. (MAC addresses have been removed.)

eth0 had the desired ip address, not virbr0.
To be thorough, I decided to properly remove the virbr0 interface altogether.
I executed the following: (you can do this while connected via ssh on your main interface, in my case, eth0)
virsh net-destroy default
virsh net-undefine default
systemctl restart libvirtd (you will have to authenticate as root if you are not running this as root)
output from ifconfig (virbr0 is gone)

Other than this issue, all seems well. The ssh and xdm configurations were persistent across the upgrade process.
