This is correct. See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades "You can directly upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS ('Hardy Heron') from Ubuntu 7.10 ('Gutsy Gibbon') or from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS ('Dapper Drake')" As I understand it Ubuntu's upgrade path is: 1) LTS->LTS 2) Incremintal->next incremental (and LTS only when it is the next incremental) I had to do the LTS->LTS once and it was surprisingly easy. I was expecting much more of a fight in getting things to work again considering the 2 year gap. There were some packages that were dropped (various reasons) that I ended up having to research the replacements but it was so trivial that I don't remember the details. The only one that gave me issues was VMWare and that was a package outside of Ubuntu's control anyway.
