The upgrade window that ticks off several steps and the fact that it
took hours were no clue? :)
  

Now, now, that calls for common sense, which is off limits!  :-)  Actually, it didn't really take all that long, but the boxes in question are pretty modern (Core 2 Duo's and such), and we have a 400Mbps connection to the Internet at work.  I upgraded Feisty to Gutsy in less than an hour, inlcuding the reboot.

I guess the point is that Ubuntu's upgrade system has come a long way since the early days.  Haven't yet tried a Dapper-to-Hardy upgrade, but Gutsy-to-Hardy works great, both with Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
