Now, now, that calls for common sense, which is off limits!  :-) 
Actually, it didn't really take all that long, but the boxes in question
are pretty modern (Core 2 Duo's and such), and we have a 400Mbps
connection to the Internet at work.  I upgraded Feisty to Gutsy in less
than an hour, inlcuding the reboot.

I guess the point is that Ubuntu's upgrade system has come a long way
since the early days.  Haven't yet tried a Dapper-to-Hardy upgrade, but
Gutsy-to-Hardy works great, both with Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
