I finally decided to upgrade my 8.04 (Hardy Heron) to 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

It’s AWESOME!! I love Ubuntu & I love linux OS! I can really feel the huge difference on 9.04 compared to 8.04.

Here’s a tutorial on How-To Upgrade to your latest Ubuntu distribution, in my case Ubuntu 9.04 using Torrent.

The first thing I did was:

Go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate

Then, I download:

ubuntu-x.xx-alternate-i386.iso.torrent

* I assume that you are on i386 platform.

Since I do not want to waste my CD/DVD, i mounted the ISO file directly from terminal by typing:

sudo mount -o loop /location/of/ubuntu-x.xx-alternate-1386.iso /media/cdrom0

And then from terminal, I typed the following:

gksu sh /cdrom0/cdromupgrade

Lasty, we wait untill all the updating & installing is completed, restart your computer and there you go. Full upgrade yo!

Here’s a screenshot of my desktop:
