If you attempt to install Ubuntu from a DVD where a Ubuntu installation already exists, yes, you can upgrade and everything else will stay. I noticed this just last night. I had a desktop with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it and I installed Xubuntu 13.10. It asked if I wanted to upgrade Ubuntu in place, install Xubuntu along side Ubuntu, or erase Ubuntu and install Xubuntu. So you can upgrade in place.
I'd like to know if this will be available in the software updates application, or if we'll have to use the ISO file on a disc and upgrade that way.
