Upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04

Few days ago, I wrote how to install DB2 under Ubuntu and about the latest version of Ubuntu 9.04.  One of my system was running Ubuntu 8.10 and decided to upgrade it to the latest and much talked Ubuntu 9.04.  I have to say it, unlike a windows upgrade, this one  was a smooth sail and the system seems to be a bit snappier under the new operating system.
