You can also do an upgrade from within Ubuntu from one version to the next, but many out there (like me) want a CD (or in my case a DVD) anyway. I do multiple installs, I uninstall, reinstall..; There's no point in downloading the same stuff over and over when you can download it just once. It saves bandwidth. Granted 3 months from now there will be 300MB in updates, but having the CD/DVD is still better. If you know you are only going to ever do one install/upgrade then your way (or the update from within) makes perfect sense. @ daengbo.
