It seems like I need to upgrade my VPS, from 8.04 LTS
Hardy to 10.04 LTS Lucid.
Is this, above, the only thing I need to be concerned about after running
do-release-upgrade [1]?
We've had some people on 240M RAM complain that do-release-upgrade
died part way through due to lack of RAM. Others do seem to have
managed it in 240M RAM though.
I think that and the kernel thing are the only "gotchas" I'm aware
of.
As usual for any major upgrade we recommend that customers ask for a
disk snapshot first. That way, if it all goes terribly wrong, we can
relatively quickly put your VPS back how it was before. Without a
snapshot all we can do in the event of disaster is give you a new,
default VPS, leaving you to put all your services and data back in
place.
As an alternative to doing a major upgrade on a VPS that may be "in
service", we can offer a free migration window of two weeks:

Finally, if deciding to do a clean install, this can also be done by
yourself now:
