You can only DIRECTLY update to the next version from the direct predecessor.

 

i.e.

from 12.04 to 12.10

from 12.10 to 13.04

from 13.04 to 13.10

BUT NOT from 12.10 to 13.10

 

for the LTS version you can update from

from 10.4 LTS to 12.04 LTS

from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS

 

------

You can of course use 13.04 for as long as you want, but there will only be offical support until january 2014

When 13.04 runs out of the 9 month span, does Ubuntu automatically update or do I have to do the backup and reinstall?

 

you will just update in october to 13.10

And next April to 14.04 ;)

Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 IMO, If you need to use original Ubuntu depends if you like the look and wether you can handle an occasional "BSOD" now and then.

Stuff I have I like: Moto G - Superlux HD681 Evo - Monoprice 9927

90% of what I say is sarcasm.
