I always ran $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
But I've had trouble most times with this. More often than not, I have not been able to boot my machine into Gnome after a dist-upgrade from a full release back. However, I hack my system pretty heavily, so my experience is probably not the norm. If you're running a recent Lucid Beta or release candidate, it will probably work. Be sure to do a full backup before the upgrade, and be prepared to do a full reinstall if things don't work out.
