1Can you provide more details? Are you currently running Ubuntu? Or Windows? Or something else?– th3dudeMay 5, 2010 at 17:17

Then my answer is the easiest way to proceed ;) Considering you have GUI installed...– Marc-Andre R.May 5, 2010 at 17:21

The update-manager should offer the option at the top of the list of package updates next time it runs– Martin BeckettMay 5, 2010 at 17:47

If you don't have it already, you gonna need a free partition on your harddrive to install it beside your current OS. If you need to create a partition, Windows Seven (if you have Windows 7) allow you to shrink a partition so you'll be able to create some place for Ubuntu.
If you already have it , just go in Updater Manager panel and you'll have an option to upgrade to 10.04 LTS on top of it.

Update : (thanks to th3dude )
Could check this out too that outline exactly what I'm talking about :
You can use Update Manager as specified in Julien's answer, or from a terminal you can use:
sudo do-release-upgrade
Yes, do ALT + F2, type "update-manager -c", and the update manager will offer you to upgrade your Ubuntu version.

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
from a terminal will work fine too :)– Sathyajith Bhat ♦May 5, 2010 at 17:26 -
@Sathya: No, you would need to edit the package sources first. But that's not recommended as it isn't officially supported and may or may not fail. May 5, 2010 at 17:44

1@Julien Nicoulaud: don't use -d as this will upgrade to the latest devel release is possible. Use -c instead. May 5, 2010 at 17:46

Manual upgrade from Karmic to Lucid from the command line:
