Updating Ubuntu 6.04 to 7.10

[Alex Maynard]

I'm thinking of doing this upgrade (ubuntu dapper to Edgy) too.  I 
haven't tried to upgrade ubuntu before and wanted to ask what 
is the best way to do this? By modifying the source list and using the 
apt-get distribution upgrade or by using an upgrade manager or simply 
reinstalling from a CD?
