I have a server (i.e. no desktop software, X, or etc. - not that this 
necessarily follows, but it does with me!)...

...anyway, this server is currently running Ubuntu 6.06LTS and I need to 
upgrade to 12.04LTS. Clearly I have two options, either upgrade or reinstall. 
Reinstall seems safer, bar the fact that there is some software that I would 
need to disect the configuration of to reinstate (a backup using BoxBackup to 
be precise); that points towards a step by step upgrade path (8.04, 10.04 and 
12.04), but I'm somewhat nervous of the number of possible gotchas present in 
this. Has anyone done this and could comment? Did it go smoothly?!
