What kind of upgrade hell are you talking about?  I have used several
different Linux distributions, Windows, and OS X, and I have to say that
upgrading Ubuntu has been by far the easist and least painful of them
all.  Because I was lazy, last weekend I finally did a two-stage upgrade
from 7.10 to 8.04 and then 8.10, with zero noticeable problems.
