Press Alt+F2 and type update-manager, this should show the option to upgrade to 11.04.

Through the terminal this can be done using the same command but I am guessing you need use sudo to do this.

The truly command line way is (e.g. if you don't have a gui):

sudo do-release-upgrade

    @sarat That's because 10.04 is a Long Term release.. You can follow these instructions: help.ubuntu.com/community/… – jarondl May 21 '11 at 16:49
