I had been using ubuntu 16.04 LTS version since its release month. now i removed it and i want to reinstall it again.

i have the installation file from last year and i want to know is the installation file from last years exactly the same as Ubuntu 16.04 installation file witch is available for download from Ubuntu site now?

    The latest revision of 16.04 is 16.04.3 LTS, and this will be what is on the official site; last year's installation disc is probably less recent, but it may be quicker to use this than down-load another installation disc. After installation I would expect to install updates since this release, but you can elect to do this during the installation process itself, though I prefer not to, as it delays getting an operational installation, and network problems can mean that the process will need to be restarted. After installation, run sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade to get the latest updates. – AFH Oct 17 '17 at 17:32

  • I've made it an answer now. I originally commented because I wasn't sure if I covered all the aspects of your question. – AFH Oct 17 '17 at 17:47
