Those aren't the windmills you are looking for.

Something thats really disaapointing is that the iso is half-ready to be a hybrid iso - the isolinux is new enough just isohybrid command was not executed on it. Of course you can install the syslinux package and execute isohybrid on the iso yourself. then you can dd it to your usb stick or use a frontend for this.

What none seems to understand here is that Ubuntu is now a ROLLING release. If we have 100.04 systems, they should allow rolling upto 10.04.
Or do I misunderstand Ubuntu?
BTW: b4 EXT4 was the "standard", a complete re-install was needed to move from EXT3 to EXT4. So the claimed "rolling release" was not true.

uhm there is no number like 100.04 (give it another 90 years, then you would've such a number). aposid (formely known as sidux) is a rolling release distribution. and no, you didn't needed to reinstall ubuntu for using ext4 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Co...lesystemToExt4
what you meant is switching from one version to the next one without the need to reinstall and that is true, at least since 8.04. You can upgrade from one version to another (8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04) or directly from LTS to LTS (8.04 -> 10.04).

Ubuntu does not use rolling releases. It uses traditional releases every 6 months, like 10.10 followed 10.4.

Also, you do not need a complete re-install to change a filesystem, ever. Only a spare hard-disk and some advanced knowledge.
