Rob, I believe that the official line is that you can't upgrade from Hardy -> Jaunty but I have done it 7 times so far with no ill effects. Admittedly all my installs have been Kubuntu & the only problem is the kde3 to 4 upgrade & deleting the .kde directory in the users home folder fixes this. If your using Gnome I really can't see any problems.
