...or Dd what I did on my netbook... take the cowards, but simply
beautiful, way out and dual boot 10.04 & 11.04 on the netbook.  No risk,
try before you fly option. See which works best for you and your
friend. 
Start by creating a live USB/CD to see if all ok... and then play!

If all seems ok... install as dual boot.  Copy important stuff from one
system to the other & see how you both get on.  See how Unity
progresses, see any (if aat all) probs for your netbook, see which
*suits* you best.

for what it's worth I am running (as dual systems) the above scenerio on
both desktop & netbook machines.  My [worth nothing] verdict... 11.04 is
good on netbooks and not [yet] so good as 10.04 on desktops... but i
'keep the [desktop] faith brother' ;)

good luck whichever method you choose.
