asked on Upgrade Ubuntu 8.04.1 to Ubuntu 10.4LTS listing/printout of configuration settings
Currently in place - Ubuntu 8.04.1, as a File Server (Samba)/Web/Mail/Users
Looking to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.4LTS
I have no Ubuntu experience, less installing it on a desktop.
I have good knowledge of Microsoft
How do I go about geting the the configuration settings for File Server (Samba)/Web/Mail/Users in case something goes wrong and I need to build from scratch?

It doesn't appear the the GUI is active. Is there a way to turn that on?

I then follow these procedures:
1.Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
2.edit /etc/update-manager/releas
3.Launch the upgrade tool: sudo do-release-upgrade
I then get:

I did this:
sudo apt-get install xorg
Now when I run STARTX, I get a mouse cursor on a grey screen with a small box in the upper left corner. I type "exit" and come back to the command line.
It tells me:
AIGLS error: dlopen of /user/lib/dri/unichrome_dr
lspci -v gives me:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 [S3 UniChrome Pro]
sudo apt-get install xorg

Thanks wesly.
How much overhead does this have. Does it tax the server much?

Not much, unless you do a lot of GUI stuff like watching video or image processing.
The GUI taxing only occurs if you continue to run the GUI mechanism, using telinit 2 will set the ubuntu to boot up in a multi-user non graphical mode.
With this all you would need to get the GUI, it to run startx.

You may need to add the repositories. or go through the upgrade process to 9 and then to 10.

Presumably you went through the upgrade software option that is available in the GUI
