I have, in the past, just gone for the "upgrade to new version" in Ubuntu's Update Manager and have been lucky. Version 8.04 to Version 8.10 was an example of this. I wasnt so lucky this time around as my IBM x-Series got as far as "Starting HAL" and then died a horrible death.
I downloaded the ISO file and re-installed from CDRom but in the process lost a notable amount of half processed work-units (mainly SETI Astropulse).
All is up and running again and the new version does look good, but this is a lesson to back up regardless of how well things have worked in the past
