Hey I am new to ubuntu... I have version 8.04. Now when the new version comes out; do I have to re install ubuntu?

will it upgrade itself?

would I lose everything I already have in my hard drive?

Can you tell me how the upgrade works? TNX

[ubuntututorials]

When it comes around to an upgrade, you essentially have two options: 1) Upgrade using the live CD. You lose your data unless you back up. 2) Distribution upgrade; no data loss, but takes a while (about 2 hours).

You can find more help on the Ubuntu Forums.

I knew most of this, but cool video, I do have one question though... what is the stats system you have running on the right side of your desktop? Thanks, Alex.
