I am in the process of upgrading my trusty file server that has been running Ubuntu 6.1 since 2007. I havent touched that box till now. I am wondering to upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu, do i need to reformat or there is some way for me to update the kernel?

I am striving to learn about linux and everything is very new to me. I really do not want to reformat as that will nuke all my samba configs...can someone advise me?
 
thanks for the info...will doing updates like that risk the stability of the system?
