If you have no optional packages or data to worry about, then just blow
it all away and install fresh.  Trust me.  The upgrades can work fine
sometimes, but other times it's a complete nightmare.  And when
something doesn't work, then you wonder if it's a problem with ubuntu,
or with the upgrade, or if you didn't sacrifice the right animal during
the right phase of the moon, etc.

If you still want to, I just change my sources and do a dist-upgrade.
Or you can view the official docs at
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
