I have used the apt-get dist-upgrade method on one server. I used the
"gksu update-manager -d" method on 5 machines and for 4 it worked
flawlessly.

YMMV

The one machine that didn't work was my desktop - the actual upgrade
itself was fine, but gutsy refuses to boot on it. I don't have the time
to deal with that machine right now so I reinstalled feisty on it and
will attempt the upgrade some time after release.

The recommended approach is to use update manager - and I would strongly
recommend you do that.

Cheers,
