Wow, I knew it! I knew there was going to be a GUI version of such guide. I know how to use the terminal but I don't use it, albeit it is very powerful, because the OS does provide the necessary GUI. The rest of the guides I found were purely done in the terminal--no wonder a lot of people think Linux is difficult to use. I really think the pattern for making Linux tutorials should change: if there's a way to do it in GUI, please show it in GUI. Oh, and thanks for the guide.

The upgrade took a few hours. but it went routinely for a 4 year old Toshiba. Nothing major seems broken, and I only lost Dropbox and Remastersys. Dropbox is a quick reinstall, but Remastersys won't work until the Lucid version is released. I'll be interested to see if this upgrade goes as well w/ my Acer laptop, since it has the Linux wifi unfriendly Broadcom chipset.
