Upgrading from LTS to another! Is it possible?

Upgrading from release to another! is it completely safe?

Upgrading ubuntu includes kernel, libraries, and tools ... updates. When the next LTS will be released, does the current LTS will be able to be transformed to?


Why I'm asking?
I'm running Lucid, and after all the addition upgrades and installations, it will be unfortunate to either loose all of it and to stuck with it forever.

I read the: I upgraded, and now I have this error...

and it answered me well. Well, but have you successfully upgrade a release to another. Tell me please.

Part of the reason I'm running Linux is because a Microsoft Windows update trashed my system. I had wanted to try Linux for a while. When Windows trashed itself, I thought well, if I am going to have to reinstall then it is a perfect time to dual boot. Updating or upgrading any OS is not completely safe...read my signature below.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and it is not a problem limited to Linux distros. I use Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. Sometimes I have needed to do a fresh install and recover files from backups regardless of the OS.

Edit: I actually read mörgæs post you linked to. There was a lot of good advice in there.
