I did a test install and all of my web pages stopped working? I was able to apply a ghost image to bring everything back. I noticed the upgrade uses a ext4 format. My current server disk drive is ext3.
I may have answered my own question. Let me know if there are any issues.

Our supported operating systems are listed here:

Ubuntu non-LTS releases are not supported. Their lifecycle is too short for use on servers. While Virtualmin will run on most Linux distributions without issue, you will be responsible for all of the configuration and possibly building some packages on your own. We strongly recommend you use a Grade A supported OS.
The reason your sites stopped working was probably that the Apache package does not have suexec docroot set to /home. This can be remedied by following the guide for upgrading to Debian Lenny from Etch (minus the repo path changes, since there is no Ubuntu 9.10 version of our repositories). The part about switching to suexec-custom is the relevant bit with regard to your websites not working. Probably.

What is the highest version of Ubuntu that you support?

Are you saying that Ubuntu, in any form, is not supported?
That's nothing near what he said :-)

Which is to say, Ubuntu's LTS releases work great... which is also mentioned at the link Joe gave above:

Ubuntu 8.04 is a Grade A supported distro -- which happens to be my personal favorite :-)
What won't work well are non-LTS releases, which have a short life-cycle.
