The method I used for attempting to upgrade was directly from 6.06.1 to 8.04:
1) Added "dapper-proposed" repository to /etc/apt/sources.list # proposed packages deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-proposed main restricted deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-proposed universe multiverse deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-proposed main restricted deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-proposed universe multiverse 2) sudo apt-get install update-manager-core 3) update-manager -d The update manager did ask me if I wanted to update my distro.
