  You actually shouldn't encounter too many issues, especially at this
  stage... Ubuntu actually takes a lot of time ensuring upgrade routes
are
  reasonably consistent. Just make sure you install all of the
  ubuntu-{minimal,standard,desktop,server} packages though to ensure
the
  process is as smooth as possible.
  
  You have the advantage that most possible issues have already been
  encountered and filed as bugs - then fixed. You should be fine, good
  luck!
