So, once I got a new motherboard, I had to reinstall. I've never had a problem doing a dist-upgrade with Ubuntu (the install before my current one was a Hoary -> Breezy -> Dapper -> Edgy install). I've heard that some people are having problems, but no one I personally know has.

It is awesome that they are getting closer to making mp3 install a one click fix instead of having to download a million different packages.
