Most certainly! My wife decided to accept the updater's offer of a newer version to do an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10 and it was a smoking hole failure. I had no idea that it had happened until she asked me to look at why her machine was acting so weird. It was "running" but it was a mess. <BR>

Yup. Here's the appropriate info from Ubuntu:

In short, you can only upgrade to the "next" version. To go from 10.04 to
11.04, you need to upgrade to 10.10 first.
