On the website there was posted instructions for an 9,04 to 9.10 upgrade.
For the most part, it seemed to work, except that some people who designed the 
upgrade scripts forgot to ask to a) Stop Open Office, Quick Starter, and a few 
other applications that would have allowed a full nights sleep with a reboot 
for the AM. 

Now going to do a CD upgrade, and then try to add the server software to my 
installation so that I can use it for testing the server and server software 
that I want to try to install.

you can't use dist-upgrade with ubuntu, no clue why,the way to do it is:
sudo do-release-upgrade
(add a '-d' when it isn't a stable release yet.)

It does some under the covers stuff that works better.
Whenever I used apt-get dist-upgrade, I always neededto iterate (doing it over 
and over, for it to work on ubuntu.
on Debian, it used to work fine...)

Lots of crashes here to with sound.  I also am disappointed by the

dist-upgrade, knowing what I know now, I would have kept 9.04 for a

while longer.
