Upgrade Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04

[biohazard 76]

I know that Ubuntu 9.04 final has released, how ever i want to upgrade my Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. I know i can directly do a separate or clean install, but will like to know more ways because, i haven't did a upgrade install of any of the Linux OS before. Any suggestion are most welcome on this topic. Thanks
