Unless you reformat and reinstall then you can't anyway. You would need 
to upgrade to Edgy first, and then on to Feisty. Don't even consider 
pre-release for work, and even standard releases aren't always up to 
scratch. Personally I am using the devel Feisty, this gnome based 
desktop has an uptime of 8 days now, and I use it day-in day-out for 
work (at the moment php and mysql coding), and even my development 
server is on Feisty. BUT there is no doubting that I have been 
*exceptionally* lucky. Dapper Drake is a LTS release, in my opinion it 
is incredibly stable, just lacking the 'glitz' :P
