You can do an upgrade from one version to another, however I have had only
ever 1 succeed with RH/Fedora, the others I or anyone else I know whos
tried has had serious problems, so much so this desktop runs FC1, because
it has too much on here that fails upgrades, so I've restored from backups
and just left it, I wouldnt even try a dist upgrade on it now since most
the packages have been removed and made current from true sources.
Every slackware system upgrades perfectly, even did a slack 7 to 11
without dramas, and i've heard debian is ok as well at dist-upgrades so
that probably means ubuntu as well.
