do backups first!  any upgrade is never risk-free.   Some people would
recommend to do a fresh install; some would say that an upgrade is
good enough.   Personally I did an upgrade from Warty into Hoary 
using apt-get a couple of months ago.  In my case it was relatively
easy, and without any problems.
