8.04 to 10.04 dist upgrade

[James Takac]

Hi Guys

2 of my systems still have 8.04 on them and I see via the update manager the 
option of a dist upgrade to 10.04. I'm familiar with the usual incremental 
upgrade and was wondering if the upgrade straight from 8.04 to 10.04 is 
viable? I know it won't be without risk even if it is. But if it is a viable 
upgrade option I'd consider the possibilty

Thx in advance
James
