I am currently using Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander. I have have heard that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr is upcoming on July this year.
(1) Can I upgrade from my currently running version to this easily or would I have to download the Image file direct or by torrent to unmount and install?
(2) Suppose if I have downloaded the upcoming latest version 14.04 LTS now. Can I keep that version and update its other software ignoring their next upgrading versions?
(3) Will the upcoming 14.04 LTS be free to download like its earlier versions? I know, for the earlier versions, whether LTS or short term support, Ubuntu has always provided free download of its operating system.
I have asked this as I do not like to remain on my current 13.10 version and want an LTS version as it has long term security and update support. I can download 12.04 LTS but not doing so as only after a few months the new 14.04 LTS version will be coming, so preferring to download the new version.
