Here is a really simple way of upgrading your Ubuntu system. After the initial setup, upgrading to Karmic or Intrepid is a one liner.

Initial setup

apt-get update

and now install the package update-manager-core:

apt-get install update-manager-core

nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

Change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal

Doing the upgrade

do-release-upgrade

Follow the prompts, its easy.
