[Ubuntu] should I shift to ubuntu 12.04 precise for installing gis packages?

Dear all,
It's the first time I send to this mailing list questions. It might be not
directly related but I hope I can get some suggestions.
from here http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/UbuntuGISRepository. I
tried to add repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt-get update
But when I try "sudo get-apt install gdal" and it prompts:
E: Unable to locate package gdal
So I guess this is because my ubuntu version (11.04 natty) is not supported
(http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/SupportedDistributions).
but when I use "sudo apt-get update" to update my repository and I get the
error like:
...
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://qgis.org natty Release: The following signatures
couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
1F9ADD375CA44993
Is it because of this problem that I cannot install?
So, should I update my system to 12.04 to be able to install these
packages? I am a PhD student in geoscience and not a developer. So I don't
actually know what exactly I need in terms of GIS analysis in the future.
currently I tried to extract from a global NetCDF file some data by a
polygon in another shapefile and that's why I begin to have a look of GDAL.
I checked on line that 12.04 use python 2.7.3. For now I have numpy,
matplotlib, basemap, pandas, NetCDF4 python libraries on my computer. I
just hope I don't spend another few days fixing python libraries problems
after I upgrade the system....
another problem is, following instructions on
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Download:
There is support for Natty, I just need to add /ect/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://qgis.org/debian natty main
deb-src http://qgis.org/debian natty main
But then when I try to install:
Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qgis/python-qgis-common_1.7.4-1~natty1_all.deb
Size mismatch
Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qgis/qgis-providers-common_1.7.4-1~natty1_all.deb
Size mismatch
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with
--fix-missing?
Then I tried: chaoyue at chaoyue-Aspire-4750:/mnt/f$ sudo apt-get install qgis
--fix-missing, it gave:
Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qgis/python-qgis-common_1.7.4-1~natty1_all.deb
Size mismatch

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qgis/qgis-providers-common_1.7.4-1~natty1_all.deb

Thanks for any ideas or discussions/suggestions...

Somehow the instructions are confusing as they contain instructions to
use the gwibber-daily ppa, but you should use the ubuntugis ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdal
now depending on your ubuntu version, you may nee to install either
ubuntugis-stable (ok for oneiric) or ubuntugis-unstable (for Precise)
By the way, this discussion should be in the ubuntugis mailing list as
it refers to installing gdal on ubuntu.
