You might consider a clean install rather than upgrading, it just keeps the fuss to a minimum and clean installs are the recommended way to go by most distros.I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

There's an upgrade option in the Update Manager, but it's a ginormous download. On your new CD there is no "upgrade" option, you just install it.
If you haven't done so already, you'll want to designate a /home partition, so that all your settings and pictures and music and such won't be wiped away in a new install.
I have read repeatedly that a "fresh install" is more desirable than an upgrade anyway, and I bet it's educational too!
