upgrading to lucid

[Bill Cox]

I always ran

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

But I've had trouble most times with this.  More often than not, I
have not been able to boot my machine into Gnome after a dist-upgrade
from a full release back.  However, I hack my system pretty heavily,
so my experience is probably not the norm.  If you're running a recent
Lucid Beta or release candidate, it will probably work.  Be sure to do
a full backup before the upgrade, and be prepared to do a full
reinstall if things don't work out.
