I have Ubuntu-9.04 and I would like to install a newer release. Some people have suggested that I install UNetbootin to do this. However, when I download it , I get a .exe file and Ubuntu will not run such files. How can I install UNetBootin?

The UNetbootin Homepage features 3 big buttons on the top of the page. Click on the one with the penguin on it and you will receive a executable file. Open a terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T. Navigate with cd <folder-where-you-downloaded-the-file>
to the folder. Mark the file as executable
sudo chmod +x unetbootin-linux-585
Start unetbootin
./unetbootin-linux-585
If you go to the UNetbootin website, you can download it for Linux. Once downloaded right click on the file, go to Properties --> Permissions tab and check Allow excuting file as a program, then start the application.
Also you can try YUMI for Ubuntu. Once you download Yumi, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, navigate to where the file was downloaded (Probably the Downloads Folder), and run the command(s) below:
sudo dpkg -i <file_name>.deb
the .exe file you downloaded is the windows version of UNetbootin. You can find UNetbootin in the Ubuntu software center or you can download it here
Under the link you have to select the debian version and just start that. Click install and there you have it. You've succesfully installed UNetbootin for linux.
The third method of installing UNetbootin for linux is typing the following commands.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gezakovacs/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
and then just start unetbootin from the dash or by typing unetbootin in a terminal.

I see, ubuntu-9.04 didn't have Unetbootin in it's repositories. I've edited my answer to reflect this and add the repository needed.– AkisameNov 20, 2013 at 16:01
