I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 (from live cd I found at my house) on my MBPro. I want to upgrade to the latest version and I don't know how.... I know this must be pretty basic but I am new at this...

Since your installation is new, I would suggest you download an .iso of a newer version of Ubuntu and make a new installation.

You're using an End of Life version of Ubuntu which is no longer supported, and the versions it could originally update to, are also no longer supported. You will have to simply install a new version instead, or attempt to go the unsupported path of updating directly to the newer version manually, by pointing the apt sources.list at the release you are wanting to update to, and running apt-get dist-upgrade. As this upgrade path is unsupported, it is untested, and may break in a manner that is very difficult to recover from. Your best option is to just install using the new version.
