I am preferring to do clean install, after all, the '/home' remains the 
same.
The upgrade from Mandriva 2009 to Mandriva 2010 was reasonable, but I 
found some new features missing so ended up, not re-installing but 
running through, as one can quite easily with Mandriva and installing 
the missing bits.

 From years of experience, I have never been happy with upgrades so 
always prefer to do clean install of the '/' partition.

I will add that I am impressed with 10.04 (on my eee) and will be 
installing it on somebody's machine on Friday. I just hope that the 
grub2 works correctly for me and allows dual booting of 09.10 and 10.04.
