Hello,

open Computer->Administration->Synaptic Packet Manager. Type in your 
password. Go to Settings -> Packet Sources ("Paketquellen" in German - 
it's the second entry). Here change all instances of "Warty" into 
"Hoary" for every source. Close the dialog, "reload" your packet listing 
(first button), "Mark All Upgrades" (second button), then "Apply" (third 
button).

Now your system is upgraded to Hoary.

(He asked for a gui-way, so it is a little bit futile to give him 
instructions how do that in th cli.)
