Is there a good reason that you want to upgrade?? Unsupported hardware or some such? I don't know much about 9.0, I went from 8.2 to 9.1 (not an upgrade--fresh install). I've since upgraded a couple of machines from 9.1 to 9.2, but I don't see much difference, except that I had to apply some fixes to get stuff that worked perfectly in 9.1 to work in 9.2. At least the upgrade didn't really break anything badly, and was actually smooth--for an upgrade. I still haven't moved any of my machines to 10.x because I have older hardware and there just isn't any point to it. Plus, judging from the topics on list, the 2.6 kernel can break stuff that is working fine for me now.
If this is your only box, I would wait, if I were you. On the other hand, you can consider it a chance to learn some more about Linux 8). e.
