I used the change sources & apt method for 
	warty --> hoary
	hoary --> breezy
Never a problem.  Only my advice would be, wait until July.  With the 
exception of warty, I've always waited about two months from the official 
release date to let the bugs get cleaned out.  There are always bugs 
discovered during a general release that were missed or overlooked during the 
beta period.  I think people who grab beta software are more tolerant.
