Can I skip over releases?

Upgrade manager is talking about doing upgrade 11.10

Can (and should) I go straight to 12.04 ? If so how (online?) ?

Yup, I've backed up my data ! :)

I've looked at a lot of similar questions about 10 and 11 upgrades but none of them are quite the same as my question using the specific versions I've shown.

This question: How can I upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04? seems to iondicate that I'll need to do the upgrade to 11.10 first.

This: Can I skip over releases when upgrading? also seems to prefer that.

btw this is one of three systems. I tend to upgrade one system and the other two I do fresh installs as that's certainly a good option every year or two and gives great life span to older machines.

The best is to do the upgrade via 11.10. Currently Ubuntu doesn't support version skipping in this way. See here.

  • Yes. Or you can do a fresh install. Usually I am doing in this way: 1. backup my /home/ 2. fresh install 3. restoring /home/ 4. reinstalling softwares

You have to upgrade to 11.10 and then to 12.04. because you can not upgrade to 12.04 directly.
