I've never been able to upgrade Ubuntu =(. So, I've learned that it's

I've tried to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10 and 8.10 to 9.10 and both of those
upgrades have failed for me.

I have not had these completely fail on me (did 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04)
but I have stopped at 9.04...got the jitters with Karmic (9.10). LTS ->
LTS release should usually work fine though...
