upgrading to lucid

[aerospace1028 at hotmail.com]

Thanks Tim,
I was leaning towards do-release-upgrade because I'm a little more comfortable with the comand-line than graphical applications.  I think I'm going to wait a couple of days before attempting the upgrade to let the traffic through the repositories slow down.

thanks:-)

I can't find much doccumentation on do-release-upgrade, are there any drastic differences btween what these two programs do?
