First, sorry for the silly question. I did some googling, but still not quite sure the answer.

I dont want to upgrade my ubuntu to 14.10 because its not LTS. However, i want to do some upgrades other than the OS.

Is it safe to use dist-upgrade?

I know dist-upgrade will upgrade the kernel, does it means it will also upgrade the ubuntu version?

dist-upgrade should not upgrade the Ubuntu release, only keep you within the same release and upgrade those components that may require removal of some other packages, as explained in this answer

The command to upgrade the version of Ubuntu is sudo do-release-upgrade
