Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Code:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

or see this
*www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
and then

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Yes you can, but you'll have to go through every one of them to have a safe upgrade. (i.e.) Your update cycle would look like this: 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04 -> 8.10.
