Upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04

[Cary Bielenberg]

Rob,
I believe that the official line is that you can't upgrade from Hardy -> 
Jaunty but I have done it 7 times so far with no ill effects. Admittedly 
all my installs have been Kubuntu & the only problem is the kde3 to 4 
upgrade & deleting the .kde directory in the users home folder fixes 
this. If your using Gnome I really can't see any problems.
