There is a detailed set of instrucitons on this page: 
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

It is very simple using the GUI: 
1. run the Update Manager System/Administration/Update manager 
1a. If your system is not up to date, you will be asked to update it to 
the latest feisty bits. 

2. The Update Manager will then show that a new release is available, 
and you can click on that. Follow the onscreen instructions. The 
process takes about an hour or so. I was curious, to I just started in 
on my laptop. In the past I have done both Red Hat Enterprise and SuSE 
upgrades. SuSE upgrades have generally worked well, and Red Hat 
Enterprise upgrades were disastrous (different systems all but one done 
by different experienced IT professionals who knew what they were 
doing).
