i'm curious if ubuntu is going to support upgrading between LTS releases (6.06 to 8.04) or if the upgrade process will remain unchanged (6.06 -> 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04, whew!
It will. Ubuntu supports upgrades from any release to the release immediately following it, as well as from any LTS release to the LTS release immediately following it. People running 6.06 will see an Upgrade button in their update manager when 8.04 is released, just like people running 7.10 will.
