Is It Possible To Downgrade To The Last Previous Distribution Version of Linux Ubuntu Or Not? If Yes, Please Explain The Process? If Not, Please Why It Is Not Possible?

Hello. I have a question to ask you regarding Linux Ubuntu.

If you do a distribution upgrade to a higher distribution version of Linux Ubuntu (say version 11.10; same bit version upgrade too) from the LAST distribution of Ubuntu (in this case version 11.04), and later on (Say a few days later, I will be specific.); can I downgrade back the same distribution version of Ubuntu (yes, version 11.04) or not?

I speaking in both general/theoretical and specific term cases.

Please explain is it possible or not? If it is, please explain the process. If it is not, please explain why it is not possible.

Please reply.

Thank you!

@ Darr247:

Hello. Nice to see you again.

Thank you for your comment.

May I ask one further question that needs some instruction...

...you state, "which should leave you at a command prompt instead of in the GUI". It sounds like GRUB is sending the user to a text based input method typically associated with the usage of Terminal where the user enters and executes line commands. Am I correct? May I ask what are some of the specific line command processes that a user would need to know (enter and execute) in order to execute a specific distribution of Linux Ubuntu; whether you know personally or some well written websites that address this?

Please explain.

Please reply.

Thank you!
