    You can't skip releases if you're updating through the Update Manager, boot the 12.04 ISO and upgrade. Feb 18, 2013 at 7:51

Ok, you can't exactly skip OS's from the Update Manager. So you have to boot from a Ubuntu 12.04 ISO file (Via a CD, for example.).

These are the ways to install the ISO:

Live CD: Follow the steps!

USB installer Again, follow the steps!

Stand-Alone Installer: Install then follow the steps!

Of course you can easily install 12.04 from scratch.

Mind you: 12.04.2 is out and I'd like to suggest that you download and install this version. It has all released updates inside the ISO + has a newer kernel (3.5) and X-server.

I wouldn't go for an upgrade since the changes are severe compared to 11.04.

Keep in mind with the required hardware specifications ! Having for about 1.5 Gb RAM-memory is certainly nessecary for a good work-flow (my own standards).

If you have less RAM I'd go for Xubuntu, what will run far better than Ubuntu (Unity).
