It is really really easy. Just run
sudo apt-get update ( this will update all the latest for the 9.04 release)

Now, goto System->Administration->Update Manager, you will see a message in the top saying New distribution release '9.10' is available with a button Upgrade.
Click on the Upgrade button and it will upgrade to the new 9.10 karmic kaola ubuntu version. Enjoy!!

This is network based upgrade and could possibly take around 5-10 hours depending on network speed

Fastest and easiest way to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 is using the ubuntu alternate install CD or image

Download 32 bit iso image from http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso or 64 bit iso image from http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso

Burn it to a CD using a CD burner or mount it as a cd rom drive using the following command

sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0 (for 32 bit)
or
sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso /media/cdrom0 (for 64 bit)

If you have burned to a CD, on inserting the CD will autorun and will prompt a dialog to upgrade and choose "Run Upgrade" button and everything is automatic.

When you mount iso, run the following command

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

and it will show the dialog and start upgrading
